The art collection, worth an estimated $3 million, of late Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall will go on sale in New York next year.

Auction house Bonhams say that many of the lots in the 700-piece collection amassed by Bacall graced the Los Angeles home she shared with first husband and legendary co-star Humphrey Bogart.

The paintings, sculptures, tribal art and jewellery will be offered for sale at its New York saleroom in March 2015.

Bacall, one of Hollywood's great golden age actresses, died in August after suffering a stroke at her home in New York.

She was 89.
