Lilian Miller Collection

Readers of the blog may be interested to learn that Castle Fine Arts has acquired a private collection of 48 Lilian May Miller estate works owned by Miller descendant.  The collection includes many of her most famous woodblock prints, as well as a number of early paintings and drawings, a handful of which are shown below:

The collection also includes some uncatalogued prints, trial prints, and color variants.  I have added those to my prior post entitled "Lilian Miller's Uncatalogued Prints."

If you buy anything from Richard Castle, be sure to mention that I sent you his way.

  2. Your question is too open-ended to answer here, although some general guidance is found in the comments on my post on Willy Seiler. Write to me privately at the e-mail address at the upper right of this page.
