Barbara Gladstone, an art dealer whose eye for spotting talent and knack for nurturing it helped her to build one of the largest and most influential contemporary art galleries in New York, died on Sunday in Paris.
She was 89.
Her gallery said her death, in a hospital, was caused by an ischemic event, whose symptoms are similar to those of a stroke.
Ms. Gladstone, who was on a working trip to Paris, lived in Manhattan.
What brought these disparate artists together on her list was her abiding interest in them personally and the devoted way she husbanded their work.
