Known to many as the “queen of the beauty industry”, Sydell Miller was guided in every aspect of her life by her family’s mantra: “Think, Believe, Dream, Dare.” From her very first forays into fashion and the beauty business, to her innumerable philanthropic endeavors, and the collection of fine art and design that she surrounded herself with, Miller lived a life of beauty, both inside and out.
This November, Miller’s extraordinary collection will take center stage as the crown jewel of Sotheby’s marquee sales week in New York. Encompassing masterpieces of Modern and Contemporary art, sculpture, and icons of design, this collection unites the finest works across periods, styles, and forms.
Reflecting how Sydell Miller lived with her collection – where fine art and design coexisted in perfect harmony – approximately 90 works will be presented together in landmark Evening and Day sales at Sotheby’s New York this November, with additional works offered in sales throughout this Fall, expected to achieve in the region of $200m. The sales will be preceded by a series of curated exhibitions in London, Paris, Hong Kong, Taipei and Los Angeles.
