Foot Art to Be Auctioned: A collection of paintings by disabled artist Christy Brown, the subject of the Oscar-winning film “My Left Foot,” will be auctioned by Christie’s on Dec. 12 in Dublin. Brown, who had cerebral palsy and began painting with his left foot at 12, wrote the autobiography on which last year’s film was based. Seventeen of Brown’s paintings are up for sale and are expected to bring more than $35,000. Brown died in 1981.
