Description
Berthe Weill's provocative 1933 memoir is now available in English for the first time. This rare insight into the Parisian avant-garde and the development of the modern art market offers a lively account of the art world during its formative years.
Written by one of the pioneering female gallerists of her time, Weill's story is one of determination and integrity in the face of adversity. Despite facing antisemitism and economic challenges, she maintained her gallery open for nearly four decades, promoting over 300 artists including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Amedeo Modigliani.
Published for the first time in English, Pow! Right in the Eye! sheds new light on Weill's remarkable career and the world of modern art during its most exciting period.
