Description
Large Baltic Amber mass specimen, Baltic Sea region, overall honey toned, with insect inclusions and internal fractal hairlines, approx. 6.6"l x 2"dia
Provenance: The Collection of Hester Diamond; Astro Gallery of Gems, NY (appraised in 2019 for $15,000)
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.
