Forgive me if already posted...I didn't see it.

Awesome!

But seriously, very kind of the Richards family to do this... very kind indeed.

Is the Manhattan apartment a different one to that which has been on the market for the last 12 months?

Maybe they finally found a buyer for the apartment therefore they need to empty it.
Rockandroll,
Mops

100% of proceeds to charity.

That's awesome. Those plates are amazing, lol.

I'm all for the cause to which they wish to donate the proceeds from the auction, my son being autistic, but as I looked at the photos of the items up for sale, I couldn't help but think re a number of them: "Please allow me to introduce my self, I'm a man of wealth and taste"...not.

Re-gifting, dmay.

Great to see Keith giving something back and to such a good cause.

Damn it must be hard to part with some of those lovely items.

I have always got the impression Keith is a true giver, i bet he donates a lot to a lot of people , but being a quality guy he keeps quite about his generosity.

They've owned this uptown apartment for at least ten years. They're trying to sell the one they recently bought downtown.

Aah...thanks for the clarification.

Reminds me of the infamous (and there is some doubt about its accuracy) exchange between Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway:

SF: The Rich are different from us.
EH: Yes, they have more money.

I agree! You want to go in on it? We could share custody.

ROCKMAN

Why?

Where is the blue jacket we ask ourselves ?

why not just have a garage sale?!

Very generous of Patti & Keith to place their personal items up for bids for a worthy cause close to their hearts.

When I saw the skull china, it was love at first sight and I had to hunt down the source. I found it here: [www.melodyrose.co.uk]. They print various vintage clip art designs onto new and vintage porcelain tea items & dinnerware. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else might be interested.

Keith Richards auction nets $100,000 for Prospector, SPHERE


Keith Richards and his wife, Patti Hansen at Silvermine Arts Council in May.

Three pieces of French artwork and a Persian carpet from Keith Richards’ apartment in the Upper East Side were the big sellers at an auction held in Hudson, N.Y, last weekend.

The sales will bring more than $100,000 to two Ridgefield nonprofits — SPHERE and The Prospector Theater — by the end of the summer.

“Art usually sells for the most at any auction,” said Muffie Cunningham, director of decorative arts department at Stair Galleries which handled the June 24 auction.

The top price tag that came from the 150-piece lot was $15,000, which was bid for a Jacqueline Marval painting titled, “Bouquet of Tulips to the Window.”

“That was the highest price at the pre-auction, too,” Cunningham said of the 1918 oil on canvas work. “Listed at $8,000 to $12,000.”

So Richards and his wife, Patti Hansen, got more than expected — a win for the couple, who have a home in Weston, as well as those who participate in SPHERE activities and work at the Prospector Theater.

Richard and Hansen agreed to donate all the money from the auction to the nonprofits last month. Hansen’s 24-year-old nephew is autistic and receives services from both organizations.

“The Prospector Theater was built to answer the great demand for employment options for individuals with disabilities, including the one out of 68 children who have been identified with some form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),” said founder Valerie Jensen. “Up to 80% of working age adults with disabilities are unemployed and underrepresented in the labor force. We learn and test new strategies, use emerging technologies, and adapt our work environment to help educate our audience of the brilliance and sparkle of qualified individuals with autism in the workplace.”

In addition to the $15,000 piece, two other Marval paintings were sold for $4,250 and $2,900.

A Karabagh carpet also sold for $5,500.

The Chesterfield sofa, which was the centerpiece of the apartment’s living room, went for $1,900.

Of the 150 items listed, Cunningham estimated that only two to four had gone unsold.

The auction transactions take 35 business days to become final before funds can be made available.

“The Prospector thanks Keith Richards and Patti Hansen for recognizing the need for meaningful inclusion of adults with disabilities in our community,” Jensen said.

Well done to Keith and Patti...an excellent cause.
Keith's hair looks nicely styled. Patti looks half her age, as usual.

Keith looks so happy and healthy, and Patti so stunning. Is he tour ready? Hell yeah!
