Lena Dunham Instagram – Barbara Gladstone was- will always be- an icon and an iconoclast. She went from house wife to force of nature who built the modern art world. Her taste, her wit and her passion were unmatched. I feel so lucky for the time we spent together, from Greece to Norway, Berlin to Chelsea, Paris to Connecticut. She told me never to go out without sunscreen but also to “never refer to a woman as well-preserved.” She was always honest about an outfit. She had the most discerning eye- it set her apart- but most deeply she understood artists.
I am especially grateful for the decades over which she supported my father’s work, both in her galleries and across the world. It made my education (and therefore my life) possible, and I am one of hundreds of people for whom that’s true.
I am equally grateful for the delight she took in my @arnoldfriend6. How deeply she recognized her genius.
And how deeply we recognize Barbara’s. There will never be another. | Posted on 18/Jun/2024 04:19:38
