A collection of Bruce Lee memorabilia has gone under the hammer in Hong Kong nearly 40 years after the Kung Fu star's death. Thirteen items from a private collection were auctioned off, netting just over 200,000 Australian dollars for the owner. The highest bid was a fur-lined coat made for the unfinished film Game of Death. It sold for 73,000 Australian dollars. The winning bidder says Lee was widely respected for his film work.

"I think Bruce Lee is worldwide recognised as one of the most important people in the martial arts field. He really pioneered the film genre."

And a sculpture has been unveiled showing what Andy Warhol would look like if he was still alive. The work was done to mark the pop art icon's 83rd birthday. It took the artist three months to complete the work. Warhol died in 1987 from surgery on his gall bladder.
