Berthe Weill. Art dealer of the Parisian Avant-garde

This exhibition is part of a series started in 2023 with Modigliani, a Painter and his Dealer, which was devoted to the art market and aimed to highlight the mechanisms behind the emergence of the 20th century avant-gardes and the often re markable figures who formed their inner workings.

The exhibition will introduce visitors to the dealer's career and personality through her contribution to various events that have left their mark on art history.

It will also trace the life of a gallery in the first half of the 20th century in its continuity and vicissitudes. Some hundred works, paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and pieces of jewellery will evoke the exhibitions that Berthe Weill organised and the historical context in which they took place. As they once did in the B. Weill Gallery, works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Diego Rivera and Amedeo Modigliani will rub shoulders with others by Emilie Charmy, Pierre Girieud, and Otto Freundlich, painting the portrait of a woman and her action.
