That’s incredible. Do you know what kind of art your great-grandmother collected? Was it mostly classical, modern, or something more eclectic? I imagine if it was one of the largest collections in Europe, we’re talking about hundreds, maybe even thousands of pieces. How long did she collect for?

Yes! I love art 💜. She primarily collected impressionist era paintings. Most of the prominent pieces were moved to the Dallas art museum under the Wendy and Emory Reeves collection. Here's a few pieces from that collection. Degas is one of my favs!

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
