Provenance: The Collection of Hester Diamond

Notes/Literature: Hester Diamond, the legendary New York art dealer and collector, was, along with Leo Castelli and Ileana Sonnebond, the most renowned and influential proponent of American Post War contemporary art. She amassed a singular collection of European and American Modernist art, only to sell it all in the 1980s and turn her focus to building perhaps the finest group of Great Masters works in private hands.
