The 12 lots, which carry an overall estimate in excess of $12 million, “were all works she personally lived with,” says David Galperin, the vice chairman and head of contemporary art at Sotheby’s Americas. “Here we’re dealing with somebody who not just had a great collection and a great eye for collecting, but in the choices that she made over the course of her career truly shaped what we know today to be contemporary art.”
