Joan Rivers fans with some extra money can soon own pieces of her private collection. Christie’s is hosting an auction of the late comedian’s collection in June.
Christie’s announced that the auction runs from June 16 to June 23. A live sale with over 200 lots is set for June 22 and 80 other lots will be available online.
Some of the listed items include the Edouard Vuillard painting Dans L’Atelier (1915); jewelled nephrite study by Faberge; a silver Tiffany & Co. water bowl with “for Spike” engraved; her fine French furniture; costumes designed by Bob Mackie; and other items designed by Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Harry Winston.
Proceeds from the auction will go to God’s Love We Deliver and Guide Dogs For The Blind, two charities Rivers loved to work with.
“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 honor,” Melissa Rivers said in a statement to E! News.
Rivers died at age 81 in September 2014.
