Proceeds from the auction will go to Bourdain’s family and his alma mater, the Culinary Institute of America
, writing, “They were two of my favorites and I would not have let them go if they were not to Anthony. Now they are up for auction and expected to fetch $1000 to $2000 … They are going to completely devalue my work.”
A spokesperson for Lark Mason Associates, when reached for comment, said that the auction house uses previous sales as a baseline to deliberately set “conservative estimates” on all the items, with full knowledge that the market will decide the final price. Per the spokesperson: “In Lurie’s case, they are confident the prices will greatly surpass the estimates, having already received several inquiries.
Anthony bought two paintings. One of them was something I recently finished, and it was kind of a favorite. I don’t usually let the new favorite go. A collector in Japan offered me $25,000 for it, but I said no. Then, when Anthony wanted it, I was happy to let him have it for less money. He knew I was reluctant to let it go and sent me this email:I will love and look after your paintings like adored children for the rest of my life—and after.
