“How do you capture a city as frenetic as New York? For the late artist Martha Diamond, it meant looking up. . . . Throughout her five-​decade career, she didn’t so much re-create what she saw as channel its slippery essence.” —Grace Edquist, “Canvas the City: Martha Diamond Captured the Brisk Energy of Manhattan,” Vogue, November 2024
