More than 200 of Anthony Bourdain's most valuable assets will be auctioned online next month, part of the proceeds going to his alma mater, the Culinary Institute of America.
The articles by the latter chef and television personality include paintings, clothes and even a bespoke Bob Kramer knife worth more than $ 6,000, according to CNN.
According to Marilyn White, spokesperson for Lark Mason Associates, the entire collection is worth $ 400,000. She oversees the online auction from 9 to 30 October.
Sixty percent of the proceeds will go to Bourdain's family – his separated wife, Ottavia Busia, and his daughter, Ariane – and the rest will go to the Anthony Bourdain Legacy Scholarship at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.
Exhibitions presenting the collection will take place in New York, Savannah, Georgia, and New Braunfels, Texas.
The auctioned items include works by Ralph Steadman and John Lurie, both of which were featured on Bourdain's CNN show "Parts Unknown".
On Saturday, the show won two awards at the 71st Creative Arts Emmy Awards after receiving a total of six nominations, according to Us Weekly.
He has won trophies for an exceptional series of information or a special and exceptional writing for a documentary program. Bourdain won this last prize posthumously for writing the episode entitled "Kenya".
"This is one of the millions of things I want him to be here," Laurence Woolever, a former Bourdain assistant, said in a tweet about the Emmy's victories.
Bourdain bought a painting by Lurie entitled "The sky falls, I learn to live with it" a little more than a week before killing himself last June, at the age of 61, while he was shooting in France.
"We are extremely excited to partner with the Bourdain family and the Culinary Institute of America to sponsor this Anthony Bourdain estate's personal property auction," Lark Mason told Yahoo Lifestyle in a statement.
"He was a larger-than-life personality, with other interests than food, and this sale reflects his multidimensional character. We kept the ratings low so that everyone who loved Tony had the opportunity to buy something from this sale and know that part of the proceeds will go to a good cause. "
