It's no secret that Joan Rivers had a taste for the finer things in life. The late comedienne and philanthropist was a knowledgable connoisseur and avid collector, her eclectic taste spanning from furs to French antiques and Fabergé.
In a celebration of this legacy, Christies has announced an auction of Rivers' personal treasures. Over 200 pieces from her Manhattan apartment will go up for sale this June, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting both God's Love We Deliver, which provides meals to people in need in the New York area, and Guide Dogs For The Blind.
Among the personal objects and decorative arts headed to the auction block are Bob Mackie gowns from her Vegas headliner years, couture jewelry from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Harry Winston, as well as a 1915 painting by Edouard Vuillard. The items are expected to sell for between $500 and $200,000.
The June 22 auction will take place in New York, with a tandem online auction held from June 16-23.
