Hepburn bust fetches €260,00

A BRONZE bust of Spencer Tracy sculpted by Katharine Hepburn sold for €260,00 on the second day of an auction of the late actress’ estate.

The bust, sitting on a green onyx and marble pedestal, was purchased by an anonymous telephone bidder, said Patty Fox, a spokeswoman for Sotheby’s in New York.

Hepburn made the bust of her long-time love and frequent co-star in the 1960s. She considered it one of her prized possessions. It sat on a bedside table in her New York City home and often went with her when she travelled.
