Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne and her estranged husband, disbarred lawyer Tom Girardi, will have to rid themselves of many items in their joint art collection in a court-ordered auction next month, The Art Newspaper reports.
Items up for sale include an etching by the artist David Hockney, a 200th anniversary edition Steinway piano, a first edition copy of Machiavelli’s The Prince and two works by the Spanish artist Joan Miró which are thought to be worth between $800,000-$1.5m and $700,000-$900,000, respectively. Bronze sculptures by Glenna Goodacre will also be up for sale.
In 2020, the couple were slapped with a lawsuit that alleged that the pair had embezzled settlement funds intended for the victims of the Lion Air Flight 610 incident: the plane crashed into the Java Sea in 2018, killing 189 people. Erika Jayne has emphatically denied knowledge or involvement in any fraud.
