Art, fashion, books, and personal objects from the collection of the late actor, filmmaker, and style icon Diane Keaton will head to auction this June. Bonhams, in partnership with the advisory firm The Fine Art Group, will present “Diane Keaton: The Architecture of an Icon” across four sales in New York and Los Angeles. Keaton died on October 11, 2025.
The group of auctions reflects the breadth of Keaton’s creative life and collecting sensibility, bringing together American modern and contemporary art, interiors, entertainment memorabilia, and selections from her famously distinctive wardrobe. According to Bonhams, the project will comprise more than 400 lots, anchored by a live auction in New York on June 8th and accompanied by three online sales.
The 50-lot live auction in New York will include recognizable pieces from Keaton’s wardrobe, such as a Ralph Lauren polka-dot tie estimated at $100–$200, a classic black bowler hat estimated at $400–$600, a Gucci sequin suit and beret worn to the LACMA Gala, estimated at $2,000–$3,000, and a Ralph Lauren houndstooth two-piece suit and overcoat ensemble worn to the 2020 Academy Awards and later featured on the cover of Fashion First, also estimated at $2,000–$3,000. Another notable lot is the original untitled script for Annie Hall, estimated at $2,000–$3,000.
Art highlights in the sale include Maynard Dixon’s Train on the Desert Arizona (1941), estimated at $20,000–$40,000; David Wojnarowicz’s Buffalos, estimated at $25,000–$35,000; and Ed Mell’s Light in the Valley (1992), estimated at $10,000–$15,000.
Keaton, who passed away late last year, was celebrated not only for performances in films such as Annie Hall (1977), Reds (1981), The Godfather trilogy, and Something’s Gotta Give (2003), but also for a visual language that extended across fashion, publishing, and interior design. Her books, including California Romantica (2007), The House that Pinterest Built (2017), and Fashion First (2024), helped define her public image as an interior design tastemaker. She was also an astute collector with an eye for American art, photography, and interiors.
“Diane Keaton was not simply a collector, but a consummate editor,” Anna Hicks, Bonhams’s head of private and iconic collections, U.S., said in a statement. “Each piece—whether art, fashion, decor, or personal object—was chosen by her with remarkable precision and clarity, reflecting an innate instinct for composition, restraint, and meaning.”
The online sales further expand the offering. The Diane Keaton Collection: Tailored & Timeless, running from May 31 to June 9 in New York, will include more than 200 pieces of clothing, jewelry, hats, and accessories by designers associated with Keaton’s look, including Ralph Lauren, Thom Browne, and Comme des Garçons. Highlights include a Ralph Lauren Purple Label evening tailcoat and pants worn to the Ralph Lauren Spring 2023 runway show, a polka-dot skirt and belt worn both onscreen in And So It Goes and at ICP’s Infinity Awards, and a Paul Harnden striped linen coat worn in a 2019 InStyle feature.
Another online auction, The Diane Keaton Collection: At Home with Diane, will run from June 1 to June 10 in Los Angeles and feature more than 150 pieces of furniture, interiors, and decorative objects from Keaton’s residences. Offerings will include Monterey and industrial furniture from her living room and office, such as stained-wood settees and planters that reflect the understated, architectural sensibility she brought to her domestic spaces.
In a statement accompanying the sale, Keaton’s sister Dorrie Hall said that the collection reflects “not only a lifetime of looking, but a lifetime of truly seeing.”
