...located on East 51st Street) opened in 1926 with three artists that Stieglitz had turned over to her: John Marin, Charles Demuth, and Stieglitz' wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. In addition to the works of these three, Dealer Halpert also sells the paintings of the late Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Arthur Dove and Max Weber. Other artists on this formidable roster: Ben Shahn, Abraham Rattner, Charles Sheeler, Stuart Davis and Sculptor William Zorach-a generation so firmly established that it is hard to realize that they were barely known when the gallery first opened.
