New York Dealer Hal Bromm Can’t Remember His Last Art Fair. He Couldn’t Be Happier

Hal Bromm, a New York art dealer who opened his gallery in Tribeca decades before it became a gallery hub, is celebrating 50 years in the neighborhood. He opened in 1974, predating the wave of galleries that moved to Tribeca around 2013, and has remained at 90 West Broadway since 1977. To mark the milestone, he will present the exhibition “50: The View from Tribeca” on September 19 and publish a book, *New Art, Old Buildings: Stories from Hal Bromm’s Tribeca*. Bromm reflects on his early career, including introducing artists like Donald Judd, Alighiero Boetti, and Mario Merz to New York audiences, and his instinct-driven approach to selecting artists.

"Man besitzt Kunst nicht, man ist nur ihr Verwalter"

The 61st Venice Biennale opened on Saturday without ceremony or an opening celebration, amid political turmoil over the participation of Russia and Israel. Italy's Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli criticized Biennale director Pietrangelo Buttafuoco for not informing the government about Russia's participation request, suggesting it could have been used as leverage for a ceasefire in Ukraine. The entire jury resigned after attempting to exclude both Russia and Israel from prize awards, leading to the cancellation of the traditional jury decision in favor of a public vote, which over 70 participating artists have protested by withdrawing from this year's prizes. Separately, a rare photograph from the early 1940s has surfaced showing Lucas Cranach the Elder's painting "Venus with Cupid as Honey Thief" in Adolf Hitler's Munich apartment, raising unresolved questions about whether the work was looted from Jewish owners before 1935.
