Palm Beachers associate the name Blaquier with polo -as in Nacho Figuera’s Argentinian wife Delfina-but the family is now making waves in the art world, too. The collection of the late Nelly Arrieta de Blaquier and Carlos Pedro Blaquier will come to auction at Sotheby’s later this season. Described as”Argentina’s largest private art collection,” the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces are anticipated to bring more than $450 million.
