I am pleased to announce a new exhibition on view in MoMA's Education and Research Building, The Dealer as Co-Conspirator: Selections from the Richard Bellamy Papers in The Museum of Modern Art Archives. The gallerist, connoisseur, and art enthusiast Richard Bellamy left a lasting mark on the New York art world over four decades, both through his work with the Hansa, Green, and Oil & Steel Galleries and as an independent dealer. Bellamy is remembered for helping to launch and sustain the careers of many renowned artists. To mark the tenth anniversary of Bellamy's passing and the opening to the public of the Richard Bellamy Papers in MoMA's Archives, this exhibition presents correspondence, exhibition announcements, gallery records, and other materials illustrating his enduring legacy.
If you are in New York, the exhibition will be on view through February 25th. There is also a web site: http://moma.org/exhibitions/2008/bellamy/index.html
The Richard Bellamy Papers were processed with a generous grant from The Henry Luce Foundation. The finding aid for the collection can be viewed through the MoMA archives home page at http://www.moma.org/research/archives/index.html
