The Living Estate of Clari Davis

Discover the Extraordinary Legacy of Clari Davis: A Curated Estate Sale & Silent Auction

Step into a world of exceptional taste and timeless beauty at the estate of Clari Davis, a woman whose discerning eye has shaped a remarkable collection over nearly a century.

Born and raised in Denver in 1930, Clari's passion for design and creativity spanned multiple disciplines. A dedicated member of the Colorado Potter's Guild, she studied with celebrated artists like Betty Woodman, whose innovative ceramics deeply influenced Clari's own collection. Among her prized pieces are five early works by Woodman, including the iconic Pillow Pitcher, a bold and sculptural masterpiece that exemplifies Woodman’s unique approach to the medium.

At the same time, Clari’s love for design extended to the natural world. As President of the Denver Botanic Gardens, she influenced the city’s landscape with her exceptional vision, and later became a renowned landscape architect, creating stunning, thoughtful gardens that reflected her deep appreciation for beauty and form.

Clari’s personal collection spans a wide range of artistic styles, from mid-century modern furniture and rare Scandinavian pieces to exquisite sculptures—all chosen for their craftsmanship and timeless appeal. This estate sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of this extraordinary collection, which feels more like stepping into a private gallery than a traditional sale.

We invite you to explore Clari’s unparalleled legacy and perhaps take home a piece of her vision. Whether you’re an art collector, a design enthusiast, or simply someone with an appreciation for beauty, this sale offers something truly exceptional.
