“Berthe Weill, Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-garde” in Montreal

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) has opened a major exhibition titled "Berthe Weill, Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-garde," showcasing over 100 works that Weill exhibited in her Paris galleries between 1901 and 1940. The show highlights her role in launching the careers of artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, and Suzanne Valadon, and includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and archival materials. Weill, born to a poor Jewish family, opened her first gallery at age 36 using her mother's dowry, never charged for exhibitions, and often sold her own possessions to keep her spaces afloat. Despite her immense contributions, she died in poverty and has been largely omitted from art history.

A look behind the scenes of the travelling exhibition on Berthe Weill

The traveling exhibition "Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde" explores the legacy of the pioneering gallerist who first championed artists like Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, and Diego Rivera. The show originated at New York University’s Grey Art Museum before traveling to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and finally to the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris. Curators highlight the logistical complexities of such a tour, including the necessity of international partnerships to secure high-profile loans and the role of registrars and conservators in transporting delicate works.
