The Joan Rivers Collection embodies the multi-faceted spirit of the iconic native-New York comedian, actress, writer, producer and award-winning television host. As the first female host of a late night network television talk show; well-known for her co-hosting of E!’s Fashion Police and her acerbic but honest and clever remarks, Joan Rivers stood for legendary entertainment and eclectic tastes. From her coveted collection of pieces from Fabergé, Harry Winston and Chanel to a Tiffany dog bowl and silk pagoda dog bed, the offerings from her collection show both sides of her personality: the exuberant energy and the refined connoisseur. Christie’s New York is proud to present the lesser known elements behind the distinguished Rivers in both online and live sales, and the consignor intends to donate some of the proceeds to charity. Viewings in New York begin on June 17.
