Visionary dealer, tastemaker, and champion of artists, Barbara Gladstone helped define the landscape of contemporary art for generations. Elegant, fearless, and deeply devoted to the artists she believed in, she built a legacy grounded in instinct, risk-taking, and enduring relationships.

Following the white glove success of the first chapter of The Barbara Gladstone Collection, Sotheby’s is honored to continue her legacy, featuring highlights by Richard Prince, Alex Katz, Keith Haring, Kai Althoff, Robert Mapplethorpe, Elizabeth Peyton, Matthew Barney, and important voices in 20th Century Design such as Jean Prouvé, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Jean Royère and others.
