Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde
Where: Grey Art Museum, NYU
When: October 1, 2024–March 1, 2025
Why It’s Worth a Look: Before there was Paula Cooper, or even Peggy Guggenheim, there was Berthe Weill. The first woman dealer of modern art, Weill showed some of the most important artists of the 20th century, including Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani, from her gallery in the ninth arrondissement.
Know Before You Go: Weill gave Modigliani the only solo exhibition of his lifetime—which was immediately shut down because of nudity.
