Lots include artworks by Matisse, Rodin, Kandinsky and the late actor’s own paintings – as well as his watch, dartboard and Golden Globes
Busts by Rodin and works by Kandinksy and Matisse are among some 400 items belonging to the late actor going up for auction next month.
Three Golden Globe statues, a variety of film memorabilia and annotated scripts, posters and an easel are also up for sale in the three-stage auction run by Bonhams.
Prices are relatively low, with the Globes priced between $3,000-$5,000, while starting bids for Hackman’s dartboard are $10 while his Seiko diver’s wristwatch is valued at $600.
Hackman retired from acting around 20 years ago, and devoted his time to painting and writing novels. Many of Hackman’s own artworks are also up for grabs, including still lifes and portraits, and a bronze his wife Betsy Arakawa’s head.
