Madona is going to sell a Fernand Léger Cubist painting to help raise money for girls' education projects in countries including Afghanistan andPakistan, the auction house Sotheby's has announced.

The singer, a avid collector who owns works by Frida Kahlo and Tamara de Lempicka, bought Léger's Trois Femmes à la Table Rouge in 1990. It will be sold in New York on 7 May with an estimate of $5m-$7m and all proceeds are to benefit the Ray of Light Foundation.
