Many of Hackman's own artworks are also up for grabs, including still lifes and portraits, and a bronze of his wife Betsy Arakawa's head. The couple, along with one of their dogs, were found dead inside their home on 26 February. Authorities later determined that the actor, 95, died around a week after his wife, suffering from heart disease and complications from Alzheimer's."
