Ghislaine Maxwell would trawl high-end art galleries and auction houses in search of so-called ‘Gallerinas’ to meet Jeffrey Epstein, a former friend has claimed.

Ms Maxwell regularly attended events at Christie’s and Sotheby’s on both sides of the Atlantic, the friend said.

“She would go to every opening of the art gallery and was a familiar presence at auctions and parties at Christie’s and Sotheby’s,” the friend said.

‘The art world is full of beautiful young girls and many of them are young and broken.

“You would see her everywhere, often with beautiful blonde girls in tow.”

During a party at Christie’s in London, she was spotted chatting with Clementine Hambro, one of Princess Diana’s bridesmaids, who was allowed to fly twice on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet this week.

“I was young, naive and happy to escape,” Hambro said.

Maria Farmer, one of the victims of serious pedophile Epstein, says she was “picked up” by Epstein and Maxwell on a show in 1995 to celebrate her graduation from the New York Academy of Art.

Epstein is also believed to have met Shelley Lewis – called his ‘secret girlfriend’ – when she was working in Christie’s in New York’s Contemporary Art department in the late ’90s.

Maxwell is currently in custody awaiting trial in the U.S. for alleged minors and sexual trafficking and suspected perjury.

She denies all claims.
