Joan Rivers fans will soon have the option to own some of her most prized possessions.
Auctioneer website Christie’s is holding a live and online auction featuring over 200 items from the comedienne’s Manhattan penthouse, showcasing her “eclectic taste” in possessions that range from paintings to furniture and jewellery.
In fact, a few of the items up for sale include: a 1915 Edouard Vuillard painting, a jewelled nephrite study of a Lily of the Valley leaf by Fabergé and a silver Tiffany & Co. water bowl engraved ‘for Spike’ (the late actress’ Yorkshire Terrier).
Items will range anywhere from N39, 810 to N39.8 million ($200 to $200,000) and a portion of the proceeds will benefit two of her favourite charities: God’s Love We Deliver (which supports people living with AIDS and cancer) and Guide Dogs for the Blind.
She added, “My mother’s legacy as a much loved comedienne and philanthropist will be commemorated in this collaboration with Christie’s and her generosity to charitable causes is something I will continue in her honour.”
The live auction will take place June 22 in New York and will coincide with an online auction that will be held June 16-23.
Joan passed away at the age of 81 after suffering from complications while undergoing throat operation in NYC.
