NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle is honored to auction The Evelyn D. Farland Collection on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at 11am. This important and extensive group of Modern and Contemporary artworks was assembled by a discerning collector, publisher and arts advocate whose influence helped reshape the role of the art poster in America. As a founder of Poster Originals, Ltd., Evelyn Farland expanded public access to visual culture while cultivating lasting relationships with major artists, influential galleries and distinguished institutions. Her collection, built over several decades, is a testament to her sophisticated connoisseurship and deep engagement with the New York art world.
Evelyn Farland’s eclectic collection of art pioneers such as Andy Warhol, Man Ray, Alexander Calder and Sonia Delaunay challenges conventional perspectives, often infusing it with humor, irony, and a sense of joy. By bringing together diverse artists who were often personal friends, the collection creates a dialogue across mediums and movements—highlighting a collective celebration of avant garde. This fusion invites viewers not only to appreciate each piece on its own terms but also to explore the broader artistic conversation about the power of visual experimentation.
