The cornerstone of the fall shows is the private collection of the late Sydell Miller, who passed in March. Miller was a beauty entrepreneur who turned her Palm Beach home into a sort of private museum that rivaled global collections.Sotheby’s estimates her collection will bring in roughly $200 million, including its most valuable piece – “Nymphéas,” a nearly 6-foot-tall Monet water lilies painting estimated to sell for $60 million.
The shows present a fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see most of these pieces in person, Dawes said. Many were purchased in the 1970s or ‘80s and are only now changing hands for the first time. The sculpture, which made its more recent appearance at the Venice Biennale in 2022, rekindled an interest in Carrington and other female surrealists that has seen their works become priced on par with household names like Salvador Dali and Max Ernst, according to NYU art history professor Pepe Karmel.
