The sale will include street art by Banksy and Shepard Fairey, furniture and decorative art and more than 40 watches from Williams’ personal collection.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit organizations including the Juilliard School, the Wounded Warrior Project and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

Williams died by suicide in 2014. The star of movies including “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Awakenings” and “Good Will Hunting” got his start as a stand-up comedian and rose to fame on the TV show “Mork & Mindy.”
