Ileana Sonnabend

IT IS GENERALLY AGREED that “From Pop to Now: Selections from the Sonnabend Collection,” which opens in June at Skidmore College’s Tang Museum, represents only the tip of an enormous submerged iceberg of art. Talking to dealers and curators, one gets occasional glimpses below waterline: Neil Printz, coeditor of the Warhol catalogue raisonné, mentions that Ileana Sonnabend, one of the most enigmatic and influential impresarios of twentieth-century art, who also happens to be Leo Castelli’s ex-wife, owns some of Warhol’s finest drawings. Charles Stainback, the Tang’s director, recalls “something like fifty Kiefers.” But it’s impossible to get an exact sense of the scope of her holdings. As another dealer of her generation remarked, Sonnabend is “a major, major figure—and we don’t even know how major because it’s all been so discreet.” The collection has apparently never been inventoried, and Sonnabend and her gallery’s director and legal heir, Antonio Homem, politel

Joseph Sonnabend, a pioneering figure in the early effort to confront the multiple dimensions of the AIDS epidemic in the United States, died January 24, 2021, at the age of 88. A lengthy and admiring obituary published in the New York Times said of him that he was “one of the most important figures in the fight against AIDS, if also one of the most unheralded.”^1(pD6) In the current moment, when the language of heroism is routinely employed in describing the work of medical workers struggling to control COVID-19, it is sometimes difficult to recall that the life and work of those regarded as AIDS pioneers were all too often tinged by recrimination and bitter controversy. Such was the career of Sonnabend, someone who saw himself and was viewed by others as a devoted clinician and a combative iconoclast.

Sonnabend was born in South Africa, where he studied medicine; he then trained in immunology and microbiology in England with Alick Isaacs, the codiscoverer of interferon. After moving to New York City in 1969 to continue interferon research at Mount Sinai Medical Center, he b

Joseph Sonnabend

South African physician (1933–2021)

Joseph Adolph Sonnabend (6 January 1933 – 24 January 2021) was a South African physician, scientist and HIV/AIDS researcher, notable for pioneering community-based research, the propagation of safe sex to prevent infection, and an early multifactorial model of AIDS.^[1]^[2]

As one of the first physicians to notice among his gay male patients the immune deficiency that would later be named AIDS, during the 1980s and 1990s he treated many hundreds of HIV-positive people. During the height of the AIDS crisis, Sonnabend helped create several AIDS organisations, including the AIDS Medical Foundation (now amfAR),^[1]^[2] the nonprofit Community Research Initiative (now ACRIA),^[1]^[2]^[3] which pioneered community-based research,^[4] and the PWA Health Group, the first and largest formally recognised buyers' club.^[5]

Sonnabend became controversial for advocating that gay men change their sexual behaviors to avoid sexually-transmitted infections,
