Barbara Pallenberg

Writer

Barbara Pallenberg was a writer, editor, and art-world figure whose life moved fluidly between art, film, and domestic culture. She rose through the ranks at Sotheby’s to run its West Coast office, and was a trusted editorial collaborator on her husband Rospo Pallenberg’s screenplays. A gifted host and cook, she was known for bringing together figures from the art and film worlds in New York and Los Angeles.
