Sotheby's New York: Hester Diamond - Fearless, January 2021
One of the portraits of the legendary Hester Diamond from the Art fully Dressed series was chosen as the main image by Sotheby's. Sotheby's relates: 'Dynamic, unpredictable, and incomparable, Hester Diamond was a fearless and visionary collector. Whether through the expressive qualities of the paintings and sculpture in her apartment, the electric colors of her furniture, or in the mesmerizing patterns of the textiles she chose, each piece in her collection personifies Hester’s distinct vision and the freedom that came with being true to herself. The ability to pursue her passions with such conviction and clarity not only propelled Hester to build an extraordinary career as a venerated art dealer and interior designer, but, in a remarkable feat, to assemble important collections of both Modernist works and Old Master Paintings and Sculpture from the ground up that were of equal quality and breadth. '

Alongside Masters Week, Sotheby’s is proud to present an exhibition of works by Dutch fine art photographer, Carla van de Puttelaar. Van de Puttelaar lives and works in Amsterdam. Her photographic work has gained worldwide recognition, and she has exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world. Her cover for The New York Times Magazine in 2015 was selected as one of their best photos of the year.
In the spring of 2017, Van de Puttelaar developed a new and timely series devoted to accomplished women in the art world, Artfully Dressed: Women in the Art World. While working on this ongoing project, Van de Puttelaar became even more impressed by the personalities and achievements of these women. United in their brilliance and strength, they represent a wide range of backgrounds, nationalities, careers, and expertise. To date, over 200 women worldwide have participated in Van de Puttelaar’s project.
Sotheby’s is thrilled to host an exhibition of selected photographs from this empowering and globally recognized series that draws inspiration from Old Masters and specifically 17th century portraiture. In addition to the existing works, Sotheby’s commissioned a continuation of the series featuring prominent American women. This non-selling exhibition is displayed in tandem with Sotheby’s Masters Week – viewed alongside paintings, drawings and sculpture from centuries earlier as well as alongside The Female Triumphant, a curated auction event celebrating the skill and rarity of pioneering female artists from the 16th to 19th centuries.
