“NYU’s Grey Art Museum Honors Pioneer Art Dealer Specializing in Emerging Artists”
Make Way for Berthe Weill Exhibition Feature
India Education Diary, August 15, 2024
New York University’s Grey Art Museum presents Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde, featuring works by modern artists championed by a dealer who remains relatively unknown. Weill (pronounced “vay”) was the first dealer to purchase works by Pablo Picasso (1901), and she promoted Henri Matisse and Amedeo Modigliani, among many others. Yet her role in early 20th-century modernism has been omitted from most historical accounts. This landmark exhibition sets the record straight. On view from October 1, 2024 to March 2, 2025, the groundbreaking show is the second at the museum’s new and expanded galleries at 18 Cooper Square.
