Bonhams auction house, in collaboration with the Fine Art Group, is organizing a four-part, 550-lot sale of Diane Keaton's personal belongings. The sales, taking place online and in New York from late May to mid-June, will include her iconic wardrobe, Hollywood memorabilia, home furnishings, and a significant portion of her art collection, featuring works by artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Ed Ruscha, as well as her own mixed-media collages.
The auction highlights Keaton's multifaceted identity beyond acting, showcasing her as a designer, curator, and artist with a distinct visual sensibility. It represents a major dispersal of a celebrity collection, offering insight into the personal taste of a Hollywood icon and follows the successful market trend for sales of notable figures' estates, with many items carrying surprisingly low estimates that may fuel competitive bidding.
