Since 2015 I have collected names of women dealers in America, with a focus on the 1900–1950 period. I would love to hear from you if you have information on the names listed in bold, and/or if you are undertaking your own research on this dealer and their gallery/ activities. Most of these dealers, but not all, operated galleries or initiatives under their own name (an example of an exception is Anna Walinska). In this list, for brevity, I have omitted the gallery name. The word "dealer" is an umbrella term; early dealers were often called gallerists, managers, and later, curators. For the purposes of this project, anybody who organized an exhibition—or ran an enterprise—where art was sold is considered a dealer (in the case of Mary Cassat, a proto-dealer). If you believe more names should be added to this list, please navigate to the contact page to get in touch.
