"German Jewish art dealer Curt Valentins promising career in the Berlin art trade was cut short during the Nazi regime, but after emigrating to New York he maintained the business relationships he had established in Europe from the early 1920s on. Henceforth he became an important conduit of European modernism in postwar New York, and helped build some of the most significant collections of modern art in the U.S. (...) [Valentin] opened the Buchholz Gallery in September 1937 (...). From 1951 to 1955 it operated under the name Curt Valentin Gallery, still specializing in modern French and German art. In New York Valentin was a key figure in the dispersal of so-called "degenerate" art (that is, banished modern artworks that were legally removed by the elected government from German state-owned museums in 1937 and sent abroad for sale). (...) Many such works were sold between 1937 and 1941 through Valentins midtown Buchholz Gallery. (...) In the 1940s Valentin mounted solo exhibitions for such artists as Max Beckmann, Lyonel Feininger, Juan Gris, Paul Klee, Jacques Lipchitz, Franz Marc, and Pablo Picasso; and in the 1950s he added the work of Jean Arp, Alexander Calder, Mary Callery, Marc Chagall, Lovis Corinth, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Marino Marini, and Henry Moore to his roster."
