Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde
No Customer Reviews
This book offers a rich introduction to the life and work of art dealer Berthe Weill--the risk-taking, rule-breaking facilitator of the modernist art movement in Paris. This book and the accompanying traveling exhibition survey the groundbreaking career of Berthe Weill (1865-1951), the first female modern art dealer. She championed many fledgling masters of modern art from early in their careers--including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Amedeo Modigliani--as well as numerous other talented artists. Examining Weill's contributions to the history of modernism as a gallerist, a passionate advocate of contemporary art, and a Jew, this book brings to light the remarkable achievements of a singular figure who overcame sexism and anti-Semitism in her quest to promote emerging artists. The exhibition, co-organized by New York University's Grey Art Museum, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Mus e de l'Orangerie, features some eighty artworks that were originally displayed at her gallery during the first four decades of the twentieth century.
