Personal items from Hollywood legend Gene Hackman are set to go under the hammer.

Three Golden Globes will feature in the Bonhams sale in New York next month, including two performance awards for "Unforgiven" (1993) and "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2002).

Hackman, who died earlier this year at 95, was celebrated for a career spanning five decades and four Golden Globe wins.

His collection, which goes to auction beginning November 19, also includes 13 works by masters such as Auguste Rodin, Milton Avery and Richard Diebenkorn.

Anna Hicks, Bonhams Head of Private & Iconic Collections, US, said: "Together, these sales offer an intimate portrait of Hackman’s private world and a rare opportunity for collectors to engage with his creative life.

"Whether through the art, scripts, or personal objects, what emerges is more than a collection – it is a life lived with purpose, curiosity, and uncompromising vision.
