Anthony Bourdain’s possessions going to auction

Over a year after Anthony Bourdain’s untimely death, fans are still mourning the late chef, author, and television host. Those fans who would like a tangible reminder will now have a chance to bid on many of his personal effects, as they are going up for auction next month.

More than 200 items, including paintings, clothing, and a custom-made Bob Kramer chef’s knife, are on offer. The online auction will be held October 9-30, and you can see the items which will be displayed in exhibits being held in New York City; Savannah, Georgia; and New Braunfels, Texas.

The majority of the proceeds are earmarked for Bourdain’s ex-wife Ottavia Busia and his daughter Ariane. The rest goes to the Anthony Bourdain Legacy Scholarship at the Culinary Institute of America. Experts estimate that the entire collection is worth about $400,000 USD.
