Description:
“She was beautiful. stylish. And a good friend. Algesa’s dinner parties were legendary in Ohio. She always brought together swift conversationalists over elegant meals.
She was a link to the past – a model for William Sommer – but totally in the present. She seemed to thrive on work. Over the years she was a gallery director, a theatrical costume designer, a watercolorist, an interior designer, maker of rugs. And she was half of one of the art world’s most glamorous couples. Algesa & Joseph O’Sickey. They always turned heads.
I will miss her forever.” – Alex Gildzen
