In celebration of the launch of the new Christie’s Education Alumni Portal, please join Véronique Chagno-Burke, Academic Director of Christie’s Education, and Michael Findlay, author and Director of Acquavella Galleries, for a conversation about the important and unique contribution made by women gallery owners in the New York art world of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
While some of them are celebrated today like Betty Parsons, Ileana Sonnabend and Virginia Dwan, we will focus on remembering others just as vital in their time such as Marie Norton Harriman, Eleanor Ward, Helen Serger, Jill Kornblee, and Eleanor Saidenberg, a founding member of the Art Dealers Association of America. We will discuss their place among their male peers and their contribution to the creation of the canon for modern and contemporary art. Please join us and participate in the Q&A session afterwards.
