Williams, who would have turned 67 on Saturday, committed suicide in 2014. He won an Oscar as best supporting actor for his portrayal of a therapist in “Good Will Hunting” and was nominated for his performances in “Good Morning, Vietnam,” “Dead Poets Society” and “The Fisher King.”

The most valuable items to be auctioned include street art by Shepard Fairey and Banksy. A bronze sculpture of a horse by Deborah Butterfield may fetch more than $220,000. A Franck Muller minute-repeating wristwatch, estimated at $25,000 to $35,000, will be among more than 40 timepieces auctioned from Williams’s personal collection.
