NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will hold an auction of Prints and Multiples on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 11am. Showcasing examples spanning the 17th century to the present day, the sale features fine examples of Old Master prints, Modern European prints, American prints and works by Contemporary artists, in addition to ceramics by Pablo Picasso.

The Collection of Lucille Coleman
Highlighting the sale is a painted and partially glazed white ceramic pitcher by Pablo Picasso from The Collection of Lucille Coleman.

Lucille Coleman was a gracious presence in New York’s philanthropic and cultural circles. Known for her exceptional taste and quiet generosity, she brought elegance to every endeavor—from her thoughtful collecting to her steadfast support of charitable organizations. Among her many philanthropic commitments, she maintained a decades-long relationship with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, which honored her contributions by naming a residential tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Her collection reflects a life dedicated to beauty, legacy, and meaningful engagement with the world around her.

Auctions throughout the fall season will highlight the breadth of her interests, including a remarkable group of Asian works of art. Chief among them is a rare and important ensemble of Japanese Meiji figural bronzes crafted by leading workshops of the period—pieces originally intended to awe Western audiences with their romantic vision of Japanese culture. Additional highlights include two gilt-bronze seated figures of Amitayus and a monumental Japanese bronze figure of an ascetic atop a lion dog, each exemplifying the extraordinary artistry and symbolism of the region.

Mrs. Coleman’s passion for European modernism is also reflected in her collection of paintings by artists such as Louis Valtat, Bernard Buffet, Gustave Loiseau, and Maurice de Vlaminck. These works—ranging from bold Fauvist compositions to lyrical post-Impressionist landscapes—underscore her keen eye for color, form, and expressive beauty.

Through its expert stewardship of single-owner collections, DOYLE will bring Mrs. Coleman’s legacy to a broad collecting audience while honoring her commitment to excellence, connoisseurship, and philanthropy.
