Bonhams is curating a collection of fashion-forward pieces and memorabilia for the auction house’s forthcoming “Diane Keaton: The Architecture of an Icon.” Curated in collaboration with The Fine Art Group, Bonhams’ collection will span a series of four sales across New York City and Los Angeles beginning this June.
“Diane Keaton was not simply a collector, but a consummate editor,” Anna Hicks, Bonhams head of private and iconic collections, said in a statement.

“Each piece — whether it be art, fashion, decor or personal object — was chosen by her with remarkable precision and clarity, reflecting an innate instinct for composition, restraint and meaning. Together, these four sales offer collectors and enthusiasts alike a rare view into a life shaped by creative authorship, where every element has been thoughtfully considered and curated.”

“Few individuals possess the rare ability to move between disciplines while maintaining a singular and unmistakable point of view. My sister, Diane, was one such person,” Dorrie Hall, Keaton’s sister, said in a statement. “To speak of her is to speak of instinct, an unerring visual and creative intuition that guided her across decades of artistic exploration. It is a privilege to introduce this collection and Diane’s personal world to you, which reflects not only a lifetime of looking, but a lifetime of truly seeing.”
