Curt Valentin

Curt Valentin

Curt Valentin (1902 Hamburg, Germany–1954 Italy) was a German-born American art dealer known for handling modern art, particularly sculpture, and works classified as "degenerate" by the Nazi regime in pre-war Germany.

In 1934, he worked at the Buchholz Gallery, Hamburg. In 1937, he emigrated to America, and opened a modern art gallery, Bucholz gallery, in New York City.[1] He had permission to sell German art in America, from the Nazi authorities.[2][3] In 1951 the gallery was renamed the Curt Valentin Gallery. His gallery operated from 1951, until a year after his death in 1954, and handled works by many notable artists including Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, and Marino Marini.[4]
