Blair Voltz Clarke runs an internationally regarded art advisory business in New York City, and is the owner of Voltz Clarke Gallery. She is also a noted collector herself. The desk in her office, shown here, was once owned by Gianni Versace.

Meet Blair Clarke, the force behind Voltz Clarke Gallery. While she’s been a New Yorker for nearly two decades – even staying in the city through the lockdown – she remains a true Southerner at heart. As we await the return of in-person interactions (read: hugs), Blair found a few ways to embrace the change, including a new gallery space in the LES. Read on for their upcoming shows, plus a few of Blair’s faves, from face masks to reading material.
