Lagerfeld At Sotheby’s

More than 1,000 items that once belonged to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld are set to go under the hammer.

Taking place as eight separate auctions, Lagerfeld’s personal effects–including fine art, collectables, 20th-century furniture and Rolls-Royce cars will be sold by Sotheby’s.

With homes in Berlin, New York, Paris and Monaco, Lagerfeld had built up a substantial collection of items to furnish them. The auctions will take place across Europe, with Sotheby’s hosting events in Paris, Cologne and Monaco.

Other auction items include a Zenith Chair by Marc Newson in gleaming metal, a console by Martin Szekely, a pair of chrome dumbbells by Aston Martin and champagne buckets by Martin Margiela that resemble paint pots. Art works include a 2014 portrait by Takashi and “Dom Perignon Balloon Venus” by Jeff Koons. Personal items such as bed linens, a large quantity of Goyard suitcases, suits by Dior Homme, Saint Laurent, Comme des Garcons, and his own label Karl Lagerfeld, a jar filled with a stack of starched, white collars, as well as more than 200 pairs of fingerless leather gloves that the designer wore constantly for the last two decades of his life.

The auctions will take place in Monaco December 3rd to the 5th, in Paris on December 14th and 15th and in Cologne in the spring.

There will also be online auctions held between November 26th and December 16th.
