...countries that do not have a gallery of national art in their capital," says Mrs. Halpert. Her remedy is a magnificent mixture (see color pages) of Marin, Sheeler, Davis, Demuth, Jack Levine, Ben Shahn, William Zorach, Max Weber-all at one time shown in her gallery -and dozens more.

If Stieglitz has an heir it is Edith Gregor Halpert, whose Downtown Gallery (originally downtown but now located on East 51st Street) opened in 1926 with three artists that Stieglitz had turned over to her: John Marin, Charles Demuth, and Stieglitz' wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. In addition to the works of these three, Dealer Halpert also sells the paintings of the late Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Arthur Dove and Max Weber. Other artists on this formidable roster: Ben Shahn, Abraham Rattner, Charles Sheeler, Stuart Davis and Sculptor William Zorach...
