Join ArtTable for an exclusive tour of Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion at the Skirball Cultural Center with Chief Curator Cate Thurston. Organized by the Fashion & Lace Museum in Brussels, where von Furstenberg was born, the exhibition uncovers the fascinating life story of a woman whose business transformed the world of fashion – and whose designs have empowered and celebrated the women who wear them.

Join ArtTable for an exclusive tour of Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal at the Hammer Museum with Curator Erin Christovale. Christovale, who is also the co-founder of Black Radical Imagination, was an ArtTable New Leadership Awardee in 2020 and named to Apollo's 40 Under 40 USA in 2023. Our tour of this inventive interdisciplinary exhibition will explore Coltrane's creative practice as well as her deep influence on contemporary art, evident in the work of Rashid Johnson, Jennie C. Jones, and Cauleen Smith, among others.

ArtTable is thrilled to present a book talk with trailblazing gallerist Patricia Hamilton, a longtime member of the ArtTable community, at Bortolami in Tribeca. Her memoir, The Blonde with the Balls: An Insider’s View of the Art World, recounts stories that only a figure as inimitable as Hamilton could have collected in a voice that is singularly her own. We’ll follow her riveting recollections of life and work as one of the few women and self-made professionals who emerged onto the scene fifty years ago – and transformed it irrevocably. From the Whitney Museum and Art in America to her eponymous Hamilton Gallery, Hamilton has cut a unique path and shares a perspective no one else has on the art world. Jessica L. Porter, Lila Harnett Executive Director of ArtTable, will moderate the discussion.
