Williams’ legacy: Art owned by comic legend goes under the hammer, with charities to benefit

-

Arab Woman by the artist Shepard Fairey is among hundreds of objects that belonged to late comic Robin Williams on sale at Sotheby’s next month in New York. More than 300 items spanning the interests and careers of the late entertaine­r and his wife Marsha Garces Williams are on offer. They include a prop sword and dagger from the set of 1992 film Hook and the battery-powered T-shirt the star wore at the Academy Awards in 2000 when he sang a South Park tune on stage. A portion of the proceeds will benefit organisati­ons championed by the star, who died in 2014 aged 63, and his wife of 20 years.
