Bonhams announced on Tuesday that it will offer the personal archive of Stanley Kubrick at auction in London early next year, the first time material drawn directly from the Stanley Kubrick Film Archives has come to the block. The live sale is scheduled for 3 February 2027 at the house's New Bond Street saleroom, with a companion online auction ending the following day. The consignment spans the full breadth of the filmmaker's working life: original props, annotated shooting scripts, production paperwork, awards, filmmaking equipment and personal possessions that map the working method behind films including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick's stepdaughter said the family hopes the pieces find new homes and are treasured by future generations of film lovers. The catalogue is led by the original "Star Child" prop, the glowing infant that closes 2001: A Space Odyssey, estimated at £600,000 to £800,000. From The Shining come Jack Torrance's special-effects axe, used in the Dick Hallorann scene (est. £30,000–50,000), and the matching blue dresses worn by the Grady twins (est. £40,000–60,000). Also offered are Kubrick's director's chair (£8,000–12,000), his personally annotated Spartacus script (£20,000–40,000), the feathered mask and cloak from the Eyes Wide Shut secret-society sequence, and the chess set he played on between takes. Ahead of the sale, Bonhams will mount a free public exhibition of the complete collection in London from 18 January to 3 February 2027, preceded by previews in New York (16–23 October 2026), Los Angeles (2–6 November) and Paris (16–24 November). The announcement lands in a market where landmark film memorabilia has repeatedly set records, and the archive's debut is expected to draw competition from both cinema collectors and art-world bidders.
