“To have, in a single room, works by Yves Tanguy, André Masson, Dalí and Carrington—collections like this simply don’t exist anymore.” – Sotheby’s Oliver Barker on Pauline Karpidas: The London Collection
It looked effortless, but of course it wasn’t. Barker recalls Pauline’s response when he asked her to reflect on the process of assembling her collection. “I feel I’ve just been a curator,” she mused. “It’s been a long journey—it’s been a career and an education.”
