Abstract

The article focuses on the increasing prominence of women art dealers and their historical significance in the art market, particularly from 1940 to 1990. It highlights the launch of the Women Art Dealers Digital Archives and various exhibitions that celebrate the contributions of women in this field, including the pioneering efforts of Berthe Weill. The book "Women Art Dealers: Creating markets for modern art, 1940–1990" examines the collective influence of women dealers, their diverse backgrounds, and the evolving dynamics of gender in shaping art markets. It raises questions about the impact of gender on taste and market-making, noting that while women have made significant strides, disparities between male and female dealers persist in the contemporary art world.
