The Briefing
- Bonhams will hold "The Stanley Kubrick Collection" auction at its New Bond Street gallery in London on February 3, 2027 — the first time the director's personal archive has ever been offered at public auction.
- The crown jewel of the sale is the original fiberglass Star Child prop from 2001: A Space Odyssey , estimated at £600,000–£800,000 (approximately $800,000–$1.06 million).
- The prop axe wielded by Jack Nicholson in The Shining — still bearing traces of stage blood on its handle — is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £50,000 ($39,000–$66,000). A free public exhibition opens at Bonhams London on January 18, 2027.
