Conversation | Women Art Dealers and the Market

Make Way for Berthe Weill explores how one woman art dealer helped establish the market for what we now call modern art. Join us for a conversation on women and the modern art economy with Dr. Véronique Chagnon-Burke, co-founder of Women Art Dealers Digital Archives and co-editor of Women Art Dealers: Creating Markets for Modern Art (Bloomsbury, 2024) and Rebecca Shaykin, Curator at The Jewish Museum, New York, and author of Edith Halpert, The Downtown Gallery, and the Rise of American Art (Yale, 2019). Topics will include Weill’s pioneering contributions to the profession, recent exhibitions on women dealers, and how to best promote and recover the agency of these important figures.

This conversation caps a graduate student study day on women art dealers and the market presented by the Grey in collaboration with Dr. Chagnon-Burke, NYU’s Visual Arts Administration MA Program, and the MA Program for Art Market Studies at FIT. Graduate students can contact greyartmuseum@nyu.edu for more information.
