SPORTS MEMORABILIA & EQUIPMENT
From autographed memorabilia to a selection of collector bicycles, both Marsha and Robin held a deep appreciation for sports. The October auction includes signed memorabilia from some of the world’s greatest athletes including Yogi Berra baseballs, a LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers Jersey, a Willie Mays baseball card in addition to a pair of Everlast Gloves signed by Muhammed Ali. In 2006 Robin was honored with the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award at the annual Celebrity Fight Night, where he received these gloves and staged a mock fight with Ali. As an avid cyclist, the collection also offers a number of Robin’s personal bicycles.

ARTHUR GRACE PHOTOGRAPHS
From quiet times at home, to Williams’s memorable stage performances, wedding parties and last-minute New Year’s Eve celebrations, photographer Arthur Grace captured special moments for the entertainer and his family for over fifteen years. A selection of these photographs will be on offer in the sale with proceeds benefitting the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, a cause championed by Marsha and Robin.

TOYS
Robin’s passion for toys started at a young age with an obsession with toy soldiers and continued throughout his life. He acquired everything from toy military paraphernalia to robot action figures to themed chess sets — a game he loved and taught to his sons using various themed sets, like the Battle of Waterloo set.

BOOKS
The collection features a number of rare books including three first editions of one of the most influential plays of the 20th century, Waiting for Godot (estimate $1,500/2,500). In 1988, Robin starred in a production of the play at the Lincoln Center directed by Mike Nichols and also starring Steve Martin and F. Murray Abraham. It was this role that helped expose Williams’ performative breadth and established his place as a serious actor capable of moving beyond the comedic and into more dramatic roles.
