Due to the German-Soviet war she fled first to Moscow, Palestine and Lebanon, eventually immigrating to England in 1947, where she embarked on a long lasting and successful career as a gallerist and artist. In 1957 she founded the Drian Galleries in London, where she gave exposure to emerging avante-garde artists and also showed her own work.
