Catalogue Note
Millicent Rogers was born into a family of tremendous Standard Oil wealth, but was perhaps more widely known for her bright mind and passion for life's aesthetic pleasures. In her short life, she embraced fashion, design, architecture and all manner of great style, culminating in wonderful collections of clothing, jewelry and Native American art. The Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos, New Mexico is a testament to her exquisite taste and lust for life.
