Christie's Auction House is offering over 200 personal items, jewelry, clothes, accessories and movie memorabilia that belonged to the famous movie and stage actress Audrey Hepburn from May 2 to May 9, 2018. The auction will take place online through Christies' online auction system.
This is the third and final auction from the estate of Audrey Hepburn. Each lot offered in the auction will be issued with a Certificate of Provenance, signed by Audrey Hepburn’s sons
The auction includes lots estimated at £200, which will allow many of the actress's admirers to acquire an object and perhaps something of her magic. Among the lots on auction are two of Gregory Peck's letters to Hepburn with a handwritten signature, a Bulgari cigarette case and a Dunhill lighter. In addition, a Cartier giraffe brooch, a Givenchy necklace with matching earrings and other jewelry of the 18th, 19th and 20th century along with various clothes and photos of the actress from films and events.
Audrey Hepburn, who is considered one of the most well-dressed women of the 20th century, and in 2015 was proclaimed the most stylish British of all time, is the one who established the "little, black dress" through her role at "Breakfast at Tiffany". The small, black dress she wore in the movie and which Givenchy had designed specifically for the occasion was auctioned in 2006 for £467,200.
Two previous auctions with personal effects and souvenirs, took place in autumn 2017 with a total of 473 lots, generating revenue of more than 6.8 million euros and offers that came from 50 countries and 6 continents. The most prized item was Hepburn's script of "Breakfast at Tifanny's". It was acquired by Tifanny & Co for 719,437 euros, a record amount for an auctioned script.
