Anthony Bourdain’s Personal Belongings Will Be Up for Auction Next Month | Eater
"The auction house handling the online sale of more than 200 personal items from the late chef—whose auctioneer is known for appearances on PBS's Antiques Roadshow—has estimated the collection's total market value at $200,000–$400,000 and set deliberately conservative individual lot estimates. The house noted it uses previous sales as a baseline and is confident actual bids will surpass those estimates; highlighted lots include a custom Bob Kramer steel and meteorite chef’s knife expected to fetch the highest price, while some estimates (for example, teak flip-top desks and paintings by John Lurie) have drawn public attention for appearing low compared with secondary-market listings and the artist's prior sale prices." - Jenny G.
