A collection of more than 50 items titled “Diane Keaton: Iconic Architecture” will be auctioned on Monday, June 8.
WASHINGTON — You can own furniture, clothing and art belonging to the late Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton.
A collection of more than 50 items titled “Diane Keaton: Iconic Architecture” will be auctioned on Monday, June 8. They include a couch from Keaton’s Los Angeles home, personal artifacts and memorable outfits worn by the actress.
“Annie Haul,” if you will. Listed on Bonhams auction house’s website and a preview image of the work. The auction was held after Keaton passed away from pneumonia last october 79 years old.
Keaton was known both on and off screen for his signature personal fashion accessories, including hats, ties and belts.
While starring opposite Woody Allen in the 1977 film “Annie Hall,” the actress pulled out a signature outfit from her personal wardrobe, including a wide tie and a button-front sweater vest that echoed the styles of emerging fashion retailers like Ralph Lauren. It’s a personal film with a personal touch. Hall is Keaton’s last name, and “Annie” was his childhood nickname.
The starting bid for a black and white silk tie similar to the one in the movie is between $300 and $500. According to the auction house, Keaton wore the polka dot tie at both the 1976 and 2004 Oscars.
Other outfits from the Oscars included a full suit by Ralph Lauren that Keaton wore to the 2020 ceremony.
After winning the Best Actress award for “Annie Hall” in 1978, Keaton received three more nominations for “Reds” in 1983, “Marvin’s Room” in 1998 and “Gotta Give It Up” in 2004.
Also up for auction is a 2003 framed photo of the actress taken by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz, inscribed “for Diane, love Annie Leibovitz,” with prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,000.
Other works in the Leibovitz collection include the photographer’s portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the blood-stained stovepipe hat and gloves that the president wore on the night of his assassination in 1865.
The most expensive pieces in the collection are works of art. A 5-foot-tall untitled painting signed by artist Deborah Roberts was the most valuable work, selling for between $40,000 and $60,000.
Also up for auction in the Keaton Collection is photographer David Wojnarowicz’s “Untitled (Falling Buffalo),” which is often seen as the artist’s statement on the AIDS crisis after he was diagnosed with the disease in the late 1980s. Wojnarowicz’s portrait, which also graced the cover of U2’s 1992 album “One,” sold for between $25,000 and $35,000 at auction.
In addition to next Monday’s live auction, three other auctions are taking place this week in New York and Los Angeles, including 500 other works by Keaton.
Keaton’s sister, Dorrie Hall, introduced the collection in a Bonhams press release, writing that the actress’s personal belongings reflect not just “a lifetime of looking, but a lifetime of actually looking.”
