SUMMARY:Julien Levy: Life\, Legacy\, and the Women Artists He Championed
DESCRIPTION:Julien Levy: Life\, Legacy\, and the Women Artists He Championed\nRegistration required. RSVP below. \nThe presentation will be led by Marie Difilippantonio\, co-author of the four-volume publication Julien Levy: The Man; His Gallery; His Legacy. The program will explore the life and influence of Julien Levy (1906–1981)\, the pioneering art dealer widely credited with introducing Surrealism to the United States through his influential New York gallery during the 1930s and 1940s. A resident of Bridgewater later in life\, Levy continued to promote Surrealist art\, becoming a significant figure in the history of the movement in his own right. \nWhile Levy is often remembered for exhibiting artists such as Salvador Dalí and Man Ray\, he was also notable for championing a number of women artists at a time when opportunities for them were limited. This program will highlight several of the women whose work Levy supported and examine their contributions to modern art. \nSpeaker Marie Difilippantonio brings a unique perspective to Levy’s story. She holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Mercer University and began working for Jean Farley Levy\, Julien Levy’s widow\, in 1985. After Jean Levy’s death in 2003\, Difilippantonio helped facilitate the auctions of the Levy art collection\, books\, and ephemera held at Tajan in Paris in 2004 and 2006. She also catalogued and prepared a finding aid for the Levy archival papers before they were donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2008. \n
