She started collecting right after WW2 when she purchased coco Chanel's house. Many of the paintings were stored there, and in their other homes. they continued their collection all the way into the 90's

Your great-grandmother clearly had exquisite taste in art. I honestly feel that art back then was like Bitcoin before its time, a store of value seen only by those with true vision and a sense for beauty. And buying Coco Chanel’s house? That sounds like something out of a dream, almost surreal yet deeply brilliant. Have you ever been there yourself? I imagine just being in that space would shift one’s aesthetic sense forever. A woman like that in a time like that, that’s a legacy for the soul.
