"Bonhams auction house will present The Gene Hackman Collection: A Life in Art, a single-owner sale featuring the actor's personal art holdings, movie memorabilia and even some of his own creations. A public preview will take place at Bonhams' Madison Avenue location across three days in November, offering a quiet window into the private world of the two-time Oscar winner."
"The preview runs November 13, 14, and 17 at Bonhams New York in midtown Manhattan, with the live sale scheduled for November 19. The galleries will display works by major figures, including Milton Avery, Richard Diebenkorn and Auguste Rodin. Hackman collected with the same blend of discipline and curiosity that defined his acting career. Rather than chasing trends or trophy pieces, he followed intuition. Many pieces remained with him for decades."
""These are prestigious works with impeccable provenance, further enriched by their association with one of the greatest actors of our time," said Andrew Huber, Bonhams head of 20th and 21st century art, U.S., in an official statement. "Hackman was not only a collector but an artist himself, and his approach to collecting mirrors the care, aesthetic sensibility and discipline evident in his own artistic practice. This is a collection shaped with extraordinary thoughtfulness and passion.""
