Beloved by the artists and institutions they have long supported, Sherry and Joel Mallin have spent the past three decades building a collection remarkable for its breadth, expansive in scope, and deeply personal in vision. Their legendary Buckhorn Sculpture Park and Art Barn in Pound Ridge—originally never conceived as a public space—quickly became, by popular demand, a must-visit destination for art lovers from near and far.

The final sale in this celebrated series, A Life in Art: Sculpture from The Mallin Collection Part III brings to a close the extraordinary legacy of Sherry and Joel Mallin’s collection. This culminating sale follows a vibrant succession of auctions, from major showcases in the New York and London Evening and Day sales in Fall 2022, to two historic sculpture-dedicated sales in 2023, and the cross-category online auctions of Parts I and II in the summers of 2023 and 2024. The Mallins’ collection reflects a lifelong passion for discovery, risk-taking, and connoisseurship. Featuring works across media by both well-established and emerging artists, Part III captures the essence of this unique curatorial vision.
