An exhibit featuring the paintings of artist and designer Suzie Zuzek, often dubbed "the artist behind Lilly Pulitzer," has opened at Christie's Palm Beach. The works are part of an online auction that runs Friday to April 17. They will be on display in Palm Beach through April 6.
"Susie Zuzek: The Artist Behind Lilly Pulitzer" features 43 original watercolor paintings from Zuzek, who was head designer for Key West Hand Print Fabrics Inc., where Lilly Pulitzer sourced most of her fabrics — and all of her prints — between 1962 and 1985.

During this time, Zuzek created more than 1,500 designs, many of which were used by Pulitzer. Zuzek's designs were showcased in leading fashion publications — including the cover of Vogue — and were worn by iconic women including Jacqueline Kennedy and Wendy Vanderbilt, Christie's said.
Zuzek died in 2011.
