...coppery end-of-summer weather in Manhattan last week, suave vendors of art began to prepare their galleries along broad 57th Street and teeming Madison Avenue for the return from Salzburg, Paris, Vienna, London of the patrons by whose trade they live. Old and young art dealers were perking up despite the torpor of the stock market. Julien Levy, the introducer of Surrealist Salvador Dali (TIME, Dec. 14 et ante), pioneer in many a modern artist of fashion, announced the removal of his gallery into more spacious quarters on 57th Street.

Most interesting to gallery-goers last week was a roomful of Viking art. How capable Swedish craftsmen had become, thousands of years before the first Viking art keel to cold water, was demonstrated by several shapely, streamlined, finely ornamented axheads of the early Bronze Age. The spiral designs chased on them appeared also on brooches, bracelets, rings, spearheads of the 8th to 11th Centuries A.D.
