# The art collection of one of Europe’s most prominent collectors, Pauline Karpidas, will be auctioned off next month. Billed as the most valuable private collection ever offered in Europe, Pauline Karpidas: The London Collection, will feature 20th-century art and custom furniture. A highlight of the auction of over 200 artworks and design pieces is René Magritte’s La Statue volante, described as a jewel of late Surrealism. Sotheby’s says Karpidas’s collection speaks to a life steeped in creativity, curiosity, and enduring relationships with the artists and designers she championed.
