Just got done with the run of #StraightWhiteMen on Broadway and before I left I had some time to stop by @Hammer_Galleries, founded 90 years ago by my great-grand father, Dr. Armand Hammer. I am here with the gallery’s President, Howard Shaw, who has worked with my family’s gallery for the last 37 years. We are standing with Pablo Picasso’s “Homme au maillot” from 1965, from the gallery’s collection of Impressionist and Modern masters. © 2018 Estate of Pablo Picasso/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

What to See at The European Fine Art Fair This Weekend

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.vogue.com/article/tefaf-2018-hamish-bowles/amp

Hammer Galleries is a highlight in Vogue!

“No less captivating was Eugene Delacroix’s 1835* portrait of a Jewish bride in Tangier (Juive de Tanger en costume d’apparat) depicted in her splendid wedding clothes and jewelry with the indifferent expression that tradition insisted she adopt throughout the preparations for the ceremony (Hammer Galleries). It is easy to see what captivated the artist on his travels through Morocco.”

*was misdated 1935 in article

From 17th century artworks to gilded birch settees, Vogue's international editor at large Hamish Bowles reports on the can't-miss moments.
