"Despite Weill's obscurity, her influence was enormous. She was the first dealer to sell Picasso, an early champion of the Fauves and the first and only dealer to exhibit Amadeo Modigliani in his lifetime." -- ANTIQUES AND THE ARTS WEEKLY "Berthe Weill (1865-1951) promoted Matisse and Modigliani, and was Picasso's first dealer. This overdue show will include many pieces that once hung in her gallery." -- ARTDAILY.COM "Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Suzanne Valadon and Raoul Dufy are just a few of the icons championed by Berthe Weill, the first woman modern art dealer. Weill, who maintained a gallery in Paris from 1901-1941, was an important yet overlooked figure in art history. Dedicated to promoting the work of emerging avant-garde artists, she fought sexism, antisemitism and fierce competition to become a major influence within 20th century art.

Bringing together many works shown in her trailblazing gallery, an exhibition at New York University's Grey Art Museum offers a portrait of Weill, but also provides a window into a period of radical innovation and creative transformation." -- CHRISTIE'S.
