6. A Galaxy of Galleries

'In the room, the women come and go, talking of Michaelangelo."
T.S. Eliot

Who Sells What, Where, and How

In order to get you started out among the galleries on as sure a footing as possible, I sent a questionnaire to leading estab­lishments in New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. This questionnaire asked for the gal­lery's name and address; its chief stock in trade—or field in which it specializes; a list of the leading artists represented; and the starting prices for various media—oils, prints, water colors, drawings, and sculpture. At the end of the question­naire was a request that the gallery owner set down, in his own words, his gallery's "point of view." You will find the answers to all these questions in the tables at the end of this chapter. Almost a thousand artists are listed in the galleries included.

In my many expeditions to the galleries of New York I have naturally formed impressions of their personalities and character. Before we get to the statistical content that makes up the answers to my questionnaire, I would like to take you on a very quick tour.

The galleries, like other businesses, tend to group together. You will find buildings and blocks that contain many gal­leries—so many, that if you were to walk only in these neigh­borhoods you would get an impression of a New York com­pletely devoted to art. Actually there are over 300 galleries in New York City, so perhaps the impression is justified. But here is the amazing part: if you were to walk all over the west side of town, never crossing Fifth Avenue, you might wonder if there were any galleries at all. Perhaps there are customers on the west side, but the sources are east.

Numerically speaking, most of the galleries are in the high Sixties and Seventies and the low Eighties of Madison Avenue. Walking just those 20 blocks, you can see any kind of paint­ing, sculpture, print, drawing, rare book, artifact that the world has produced. It is not an all-inclusive collection, but you can taste a bit of everything: oils by old masters, in­cunabula, Expressionist, a bit of Benin sculpture, a Renoir drawing, a lit-up plastic construction, a plain still life (they still make them).

Branching off the main stem are many other galleries, so that you find the side streets populated with works of art. And if you go as far east as Lexington there are more treasures. But the bulk are on Madison.

Another great group of galleries is located on 57th Street, with the heaviest concentration east of Fifth Avenue. This was the original gallery spot; but the rents got higher, the neighborhood more crowded, and the exodus to Madison began. But Knoedler stays. And in this general neighborhood you still find Janis, Downtown, Betty Parsons, Pierre Matisse. This is not the place for bargain hunting or young unknowns. If these galleries know your young painter, he's known! The great classics of the contemporary art world are shown here. To drop a few names: Shahn, Giacometti, Picasso, Matisse, Moore, Prendergast. And you will find old masters here, too. But old masters are in limited supply, of course, not only on 57th Street, but the world over.

The Village used to be a good location for an art gallery; and some galleries are still doing business at this old stand. But the feeling has changed. The work in these galleries is contemporary, but not extreme. The "Bohemians," or the new young men, have gone east. What is left is as conserva­tive as modern art runs. You will find galleries with names like "European" and "South American," meaning that they have imports from the countries they are named after. That seems to be the chic thing—for a Village gallery to go shop­ping abroad for its collection. But there is much more solid stuff here than you might expect, if you lived in the days of the jazz babies of the Village.

The hotbed of the abstract expressionists, the "far-out" painters of the contemporary scene, is located on East Tenth Street. This is not an address, but a description of a neighbor­hood that runs from St. Mark's Square on down Third Av­enue, with the largest concentration of galleries crossing the Avenue at Tenth. The pattern of these gallery operations is co-operatives. Five young painters, let's say, get together and pay the rent. They own the gallery. You'll find gallery names like Phoenix, Camino, Image. Fun to visit on a Friday night when the shows are opening, for the galleries all hold their openings together.

And now to my impressions of twenty or so galleries chosen rather at random. There is a small observation I would like to make: if great art and great taste are far different things, great taste and great galleries are synonymous.

That is my personal point of view. Thus, when you read this gallery listing, you will find no support for this school versus that school . . . this idea versus that idea . . . this level of quality as against a more mature level of quality . . . but only a reflection of my personal taste and through that my evaluation of the taste of the gallery involved. Apart from this, no colored glasses. I try to tell you here only what the gal­leries themselves are trying to do, not what I think they should do or what it means to me.

Downtown Gallery 32
East 51st Street

As you stand on the pavement in front of this building, you feel that you are in front of a three-way mirror of the gallery. Left Glass, the current exhibitor, Rattner; Right Glass, an American Primitive; Center Glass, a sign "Free to the Public." You go into a large gray room hung with Shahn, Davis, Hartley, Kuniyoshi, Weber, and Marin. If you should wonder about the stature of these painters, you can turn to the case of books written on each of them, and on their works. The list of artists that the gallery has handled reads like a "Who's Who" of Contemporary American Painting. After an eyeful of contemporary Americans you pass into another gray room—into an earlier time. This gallery is interested in Americana—the early primitive painters of our country, the signs, trademarks, and art objects. You may see an early American weather vane leaning against a wall under a paint­ing by Hicks or Schimmel or Fields . . . next to a glass case that holds a chalkware dog. Another room, rather small, is hung with lithographs, etchings, serigraphs.

Now, up the carpeted stairs to a beautiful Abraham Rattner show. There is no start of surprise when you see the huge, marvelously painted canvases with their strong color . . . rather a nice warm feeling that he still can paint. Once a master always a master.

Standing in this stronghold of the accepted—of the classic American contemporary painters—makes me wonder about art investment. Or perhaps it was the restrained touch of plush in the atmosphere. But even here, where values are most stable, they laughingly suggested that great investment minds would do well to consider the stock market or the real estate market. Art is for love, not for money. Edith Halpert has been the moving force at Downtown for 35 years.

Sidney Janis
15 East 57th Street

An office building. The fifth floor. Get off the elevator and turn left. Two small rooms and a larger exhibition room in back. Gray walls, carpeted floor, and a single Eames chair in each room. No one sits on them. No one rests a parcel on them. If the rooms are small, the canvases are not. They are about the size of a picture window. If you are looking for a pleasant little picture to go over the mantel you have come to the wrong place. In more ways than one.

This is a gallery with an idea: Janis has always tried to be first with the best. Avant-garde, but solid. Certainly, as the leading exponent and salesman of the abstract expressionists, he is avant-garde. In the sense that he has the ten accepted masters of the school, whose prices, as well as paintings, stag­ger the imagination, he is solid. It is said that Janis' 10 paint­ers—Pollock, Kline, DeKooning among them—are the strongest influence in the world of art today. Too often they are not only an influence but an example. They are the most copied artists as well as the most admired, so that you will see little "DeKoonings," "Klines," "Pollocks" all over the country. Be­ware. See the real thing before you look at the imitators. These are the mature talents who are still creating, not repeating. If you are looking for the works of Pollock, Kline, DeKooning, Rothko, Motherwell, Gottlieb, Guston, Albers, Baziotes, Gorky, this is the place.

Betty Parsons
15 East 57th Street

Just across the hall from Janis. And with the same view­point. I remember that Betty Parsons was an early exponent of Pollock and Rothko. This is an important gallery. It is divided into two parts. There is an upstairs and a downstairs branch. See them both. Miss Parsons presents the new good talent as well as the established painter. Guerrero, abstract ex­pressionist, is the mood.

If there is such a sentence, Betty Parsons has a tradition of daring. She champions the unknowns against the painting fashion of the moment. Willing to take a chance, her judg­ment has been vindicated time and again. Murch, Condon, Paolozzi are three of her artists at the moment.

Knoedler’s
14 East 57th Street

The Whistler show and I came together. So there were great crowds of people, all hatted, gloved, and jeweled. Only some of the 100 pieces were for sale. People came more to look than to buy. For it has been a while since Whistler had been shown in this way. This is not a stark place. In one room the walls are hung in soft, velvety material. The bits of fur­niture are old, the atmosphere mellow. The gallery people are two men—dressed as any businessman might be, neither ele­gant nor arty; they look reliable. A comfortable place to buy a beautiful picture, whose authenticity or value would never cause you to lose a moment's sleep. But your pretty picture might cost you a pretty penny. Old and modern masters are the stock in trade. Buy a drawing if you are economizing. What Knoedler does is always watched with interest by other galleries and collectors.

Frumkin
32 East 57th Street

An office building and an elevator ride, then the gallery. Two rooms, almost bare, hung with pictures. No particular point of view espoused here. It is rather an interest in quality that leads them in one direction or another. In general, mod­ern masters and younger artists of the contemporary scene. A fine German expressionist (or half impressionist, half expres­sionist), Corinth, was on the walls. Matta scheduled after him. Objects from the South Seas and other primitive stuff. But, again from the point of view of quality and beauty, not ethnology.

Bertha Schaefer
32 East 57th Street

Across the hall from Frumkin, Bertha Schaefer offers Ameri­can and European painters and sculptors. Though some are quite well established, the goal of the gallery is to introduce the younger artists. You see a variety of work, but the concen­tration is on the abstract. All mediums, all techniques; draw­ings and prints among them.

ACA
63 East 57th Street

There is an old-fashioned flavor here. The belief is in real­istic art, with a definite bias against the non-objective. Art must have social content. The philosophy and statement are as important as the quality. But the work on the wall was a direct contradiction, amusingly enough. For, though the sub­ject of the delicate line drawings by Gwathmey was repetitious, the delicacy of the line was pure enchantment. Rather a high rent district for sharecroppers, was my irreverent reaction!

Rose Fried
40 East 68th Street

Champion of the earlier modern painters like Juan Gris, Severini. The futurists put their future in her hands. An im­portant gallery historically. Met one of her younger artists on the doorstep, had seen his work, and chatted about his plans ... a painter with a future: Ray Hendler.

Leo Castelli
4 East 77th Street

It's on the second floor of a white old house, just off Fifth Avenue. Quiet looking . . . there's not a sign or a sound of the great noise going on inside. You see the green of Central Park from the doorstep ... it makes a lovely landscape. Look at it for a moment. Drink it in. It is the most beautiful example of nonsequitur. For the art inside is made from other stuff.

Thewaste of a machine civilization . . . the thrown-out, the discarded, the untended is the artists' material—the junk on the used-car lot, the broken back of a chair, the discarded coke bottle, the doodle on a pad. The most violent expression came from a pink-cheeked girl with a dutch bob, rather slight . . . Lee Bontecou. She has innocently built horror out of old laundry bags and carts and wire. Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, of this gallery, have been shown by the Museum of Modern Art. This place is definitely "far out," to speak in the modern idiom. Wise to remember that Leo Castelli, who chooses the artists, has long experience to guide him. He has been connected with every important avant-garde movement since the Surrealists. He is not a second-guesser. If you are looking for the equivalent, in the art world, of the man who wakes the bugler, meet Castelli.

Gallerie Challette
1100 Madison Avenue

You can't walk in off the street—you have to look for the Gallerie Challette. It's in an apartment building, on the first floor to your right as you enter. There is no lived-in look to this place . . . not even a chair, as I remember . . . except in the office. It is rather a small "musee d'art moderne" The dark-haired lady who supervises is rather crisp in manner. So you walk about undisturbed, unless you want to ask an intelli­gent question—or a price. The gallery is arranged on two levels and broken into several rooms, one rather like a hall. The en­tire object is to display the art in an interesting way, rather than to make the customer feel that this is a cozy little place he would like to move into. When I visited Challette last, there was an important show of Jean Arp, and his wife. One felt that it was all too important to buy. But really a portion of the ma­terial was for sale and the prices good. Constructivist leanings here. An important gallery.

Julius Carlebach
1040 Madison Avenue

This is a curious corner. There is Julius Carlebach on the one side, Duveen and Rosenberg on another . . . and then the Chase Manhattan Bank! It makes you think. It makes you think big! The speciality of the house here is the objet d'art: finely carved ivory chessmen under glass; Egyptian jewelry, more precious, through its history, than a brand-new shiny Harry Winston diamond; Benin sculpture; carvings from the coasts of Africa. You will also find an occasional old rug. But if you are shopping for these exclusively, try another market. This is a big place for a gallery. Big plate glass windows so you can see right in, and an entrance on the street. Just like a great store. But rather special inside.

Paul Rosenberg & Co.
East 79th Street

Nothing forbidding about this well-known gallery, on 79th just west of Madison. It has brought its 57th Street atmosphere uptown with it. You are apt to find pictures from the gallery's permanent collection (permanent unless you buy one) along with an excellent modern exhibit. When I was there, there was a single glass case containing 16 small fine bronzes of Apelles Fenosa at roughly $500 per. And all the walls had old masters.

Duveen
18 East 79th Street

Right next door to Rosenberg . . . one step farther west on 79th . . . but a different atmosphere. Everything here is old and rich in appearance.

But, first, before one can see the treasures, one must push open two heavy glass doors, cross a marble floor, pass a draped nude in a niche (Pierre Julien, 1731-1804), and face the ter­rible quiet. Every sound is muffled by the rugs. The front room is smothered in velvet—velvet drapes, velvet chairs, velvet carpet. Delightful Fragonards on the wall. Bouchers. Simply describing the room makes one feel like a name-dropper.

Barone
1018 Madison Avenue

Sculpture of good quality . . . modern ... in a lovely sculpture garden. A real excitement about this place. The management has just changed, and they are searching for new but true values. It was completely a sculpture gallery; now they are adding painters and graphic artists. Come here to talk, even if you don't want to buy. For you will learn in a gentle way. There are no hard edges about the gallery, the ideas, or the people. They like the human in painting, are not interested in the mechanistic. They realize that realism is sweeping New York, yet are considering the work of an imagi­native, abstract, curiously humorous sculptor.

Wittenborn
1018 Madison Avenue

For art books . . . any kind, sort, or description. If you don't speak English, don't worry, some of the books don't eitherl Editions printed in Europe the commonest product here. Nice posters you might want to own and frame.

Peter Deitch
1018 Madison Avenue

Prints . . . drawings. Don't be shocked to hear that the price of a Picasso print is in the many hundreds of dollars; it is probably the rarest of the rare. Their speciality is the spe­cial thing that every collector is looking for but that only Peter Deitch has. I saw some particularly fine things of Nolde, Pascin, Vuillard, and Toulouse-Lautrec.

World House
987 Madison Avenue

The stuff is good; good and expensive. But there are no bar­gains in Manzu or Paul Klee anywhere. Go, if only to look at the pool bordering the marble floor, and the elegant stairway to the second floor. International contemporary, as the name suggests.

Lucien Goldschmidt
1116 Madison Avenue

A lovely soft place, lined with rare books, prints, and per­fect drawings. You suddenly relax and lapse into another century, another era . . . when people had time. Nothing in the world is more important than sitting down for a while and just looking at perhaps one drawing . . . talking about it . . . then looking some more. The work here is not decorative, not charming. There is an austere evaluation of quality. The clients are the most discriminating of collectors. The history of a work is investigated with careful scholarship. When you buy here you have no higher court of appeal. You can't ask anyone if what you have is authentic, because everyone asks Mr. Goldschmidt. Though most of the material is French, it is French of every period including the contemporary.

Some of the Goldschmidt shows that made art history: ex­hibit of Jacques Villon; the first exhibit of Jazz by Matisse shown in this country; exhibit of Callot, the famous 17th-cen­tury French engraver, one of the top 10 engravers of all time.

Prices not quotable . . . because of difference in quality, one Vuillard drawing was $500; another several thousand. But it is not your pocketbook that matters here. It is your eye. If you have an eye that sees . . . you must take it to this place.

Charles E. Slatkin
115 East 92nd Street

Mr. and Mrs. Slatkin are worth knowing. But first you have to find them. There are no signs of any kind. The gallery is in the penthouse of an apartment building. Take an elevator to the top and then walk up one flight.

The small room is beige; the walls hung in a smooth burlap, and the floor covered softly in beige carpet; a sofa so you can sit and contemplate. It is the perfect background for drawings, all beautifully framed as they deserve to be. Looking around the walls you might see a Renoir, a Degas, a Fragonard, a Pascin. But ask for what you don't see. The large stock can't possibly be displayed all at once. Paintings and sculpture, too, but this gallery is particularly known for its drawings. Many are museum caliber, and Mr. Slatkin numbers many museums among his customers, for he is a recognized authority in the field of drawings.

Prices run from $25 to $25,000 ... so everybody is welcome. If you are buying in the latter category, Mr. Slatkin likes you to check his judgment with the museum people you know.

Weyhe Gallery
794 Lexington Avenue

The first floor is books. Books on the floor. Books piled to the ceiling. Shelves lined with books. The back room . . . books. Rare books, plain books, paperback books. Magazines you never heard of, that publish four issues and die, but then be­come collector's items. Mr. Weyhe was originally a book dealer. He found young artists couldn't afford books, and he began to trade books for paintings. He was some trader. The gallery is upstairs. Some sculpture sitting about. And an enor­mous stock in portfolio. The stock consists mostly of prints. Everyone from Piranes, Goya, Daumier, Whistler, Delacroix, Gericault, Blake, Rembrandt, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Ma­tisse, Picasso, Nolde ... to portfolios of Audubon birds. The particular emphasis is on discovering new talent. But the taste is so good that the new discoveries become established artists before you can say "I'll buy that." Among the gallery's dis­coveries: Alexander Calder, Lachaise. The newer discoveries: Doris Caesar, Charles Salerno. Print stock built up by Mr. Weyhe and Carl Zigrosser, now curator of prints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Miss Dickinson, who is there mostdays, knows all about the stock. Not the place for wild abstrac­tions. It's a calm kind of gallery, with a large and beautiful selection.

Artists Gallery
853 Lexington Avenue

For the artists who don't have a gallery. Supported entirely by contributions. Mrs. Monti, who has been involved in this operation for the last 20 years, lets you browse. Will help you with information about other galleries as well as this one. (This is what makes Artists Gallery unique.) Artists Gallery shows work strictly on the basis of quality. When a very poor artist with very poor work comes in and asks for a show, he is shown the door. This is no way to get richer, Mrs. Monti ex­plains to him kindly. They try to get their artists another dealer as soon as possible, to make way for other talented young people. Some of their discoveries: Adolf Gottlieb, Theo­dore Roszak, Hans Boehler, Louisa Kruger, Frank Roth. Handsome oils on the wall. A good place for reliable advice. Excellent starting place for young collectors, as well as for young painters.

Rehn
36 East 61st Street

These are new quarters for this gallery; but as you look at the paintings shown here, you feel the pull of history. Hopper, Burchfield, Marsh, Corbino, Brook, Poor, Watkins—all of them outstanding names in the story of American painting. Frank Rehn achieved fame as a pioneering gallery owner with a talent for spotting genuine talent. His successor, John Clancy, is not the dynamo that Rehn was, but in his quiet way he continues to encourage up-and-coming artists by adding them to his gallery. As we were leaving, the abstract oils of one of them, Pat Mangione, caught our eye with their sen­suous colors and patterns.

ArtistsGalleryArtInformationCenter
853 Lexington Avenue

A new service of The Artists Gallery. This division headed by Betty Chamberlain. If you're looking for a contemporary artist and his work, and don't know his present dealer, address, or phone number, this is where to find out. If you don't know who handles work in your price range, ask here. If you want to buy an African mask, a constructivist painting, or find your way to the Metropolitan Museum, ask here. If you want an objective opinion on a gallery or a picture, ask here. But let me tell you in advance ... if your question is, "Shall I buy this picture?" you'll be asked another. "Do you really like it?"

"Because that's the best criterion you can apply," said Betty Chamberlain. Going to Europe? Find out what's doing on the "rues et faubourgs" from Art Information Center.

VillageArtCenter
39 Grove Street

Wire mesh on the doors and windows . . . kids bouncing balls outside. A large barnlike place . . . the walls white and well lit ... plenty of room for pictures and sculpture. Non­profit, nonjuried shows, so you'll find lots of young talent hung here. They've been paying rent for nigh unto twenty years so this is no fly-by-night place.

European Gallery
51 Grove Street

Tiny, modern. Walk in off the street. Contemporary things. Many imports. Reflecting the thoughtful investment-like way art collectors shop these days. You may be reassured to learn that there is an insurance and mutual fund consultant on the premises. But you are still in the Village. There are cafe es­presso houses all around.

Sud American a Galeria
10 East 8th Street

Just walk in. Another handsome store-front kind of place. The white walls that are the usual contemporary background. Specializing rather well in the painting of our good neighbors to the south.
