Known to be an art collector, owns works by Willem de Kooning and Damien Hirst; recently bought 1958 "Flag" painting by Jasper Johns for which he reportedly paid $110 million.

The Hedge-fund manager is betting big on the late Elizabeth Taylor, who died Wednesday. Mr. Cohen has enlisted Phillips de Pury to auction off a turquoise Andy Warhol portrait of the screen star for at least $20 million at its major sale of contemporary art on May 12 in New York.
