Another Side of Joan Rivers
On October 9, Juliens Auctions will sell items which once belonged to Joan Rivers . This includes a lot of art--pictures of the late comic, and others created by Joan herself. Her daughter, Melissa , was among her subjects. Much of it was conventional: portrayals of landscapes and art supplies, and a charcoal still life of fruit and a pitcher. And there are quite a few lots devoted to the performer's dog, Spike : These range from a photograph of the pair to a collar worn by the animal. Another lot features a pair of needlepoint door stops, apparently inspired by Spike . Jewelry (such as flower and bee brooches), clothing, and awards are also part of the Beverly Hills auction. Bids will be accepted online as well, with over 300 items to choose from. The sale starts at 10 a.m. Pacific time.
