Diane Keaton's Personal Treasures Head to Auction This June
Six months after the passing of Oscar-winning actor Diane Keaton, a series of four auctions has been announced to sell items from her personal collection. Keaton died in October 2025 at the age of 79 from pneumonia. The auctions, set to take place in New York and Los Angeles this June, will offer fans the chance to bid on iconic Ralph Lauren clothes worn by Keaton, as well as the original, untitled script for the 1977 classic film Annie Hall.
A Curated Collection Celebrating an Icon
Bonhams's auction, titled Diane Keaton: The Architecture of an Icon, is described as a thoughtfully curated selection that includes fine art, interiors, iconic fashion, personal objects, and other creative touchstones from the acclaimed actress, film-maker, author, and style icon. Keaton's sister, Dorrie Hall, commented on the collection, stating, "To speak of her is to speak of instinct, an unerring visual and creative intuition that guided her across decades of artistic exploration."
Revealing the Auction Lots
While the full details of the auction lots are still to be revealed, it is believed that the collection will also feature some of Keaton's original collages and clothing designed by Thom Browne. This sale highlights Keaton's multifaceted career, which spanned beyond acting to include roles as an artist and designer of clothes and homewares.
Keaton's Legacy in Film and Beyond
Diane Keaton starred in some of cinema's most celebrated films, such as The Godfather trilogy, Reds, Marvin's Room, and Something's Gotta Give, as well as eight movies with Woody Allen. In addition to her acting prowess, she was an accomplished house flipper, buying and renovating properties for significant profit. At last month's Oscars, her The Family Stone co-star Rachel McAdams paid tribute, saying, "She wore so many hats, literally and figuratively – actress, artist, author, activist – but no hat more important to her than being a mother to her two children. She meant so much to so many of us."
