Thaddaeus Ropac has taken on the estate of Martha Diamond, the New York painter whose cityscapes are admired by artists yet largely under-recognized on the market. The gallery will represent the estate in collaboration with David Kordansky, with a first European museum survey set to open at the Sara Hildén Museum in Tampere, Finland, in September 2026.

Diamond, who died in 2023 at 79, spent more than six decades developing a body of work that translated the architecture of Manhattan into a distinct visual language. Her canvases, often built from repeated, vertical lines, hover between abstraction and figuration, capturing not the literal skyline so much as its essence.
