Hester Diamond (December 10, 1928 – January 23, 2020) was an American art collector, dealer, and interior designer. With her first husband, Harold Diamond, she amassed a collection of Modernist art that the New York Times described as "astonishing". Following her husband's death, Diamond switched her focus to Old Masters, assembling "one of the greatest, most idiosyncratic art collections in America".[1][2][3] She was the mother of Mike D of the Beastie Boys.
