The Julien Levy Gallery, which opened in Manhattan in 1931 and closed in 1949, played an essential role in the shift of the cultural avant-garde from Paris to New York. His was the first American gallery to sponsor a show on Surrealism and to champion Neo-Romanticism, Magic Realism, and European photography. Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's Un Chien Andalou and Joseph Cornell's Rose Hobart had their first U.S. screening there. Among the artists Levy exhibited were Eugène Atget, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Joseph Cornell, Salvador Dalí, Walt Disney, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Walker Evans, Leonor Fini, Naum Gabo, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Frida Kahlo, Fernand Leger, René Magritte, Man Ray, Lee Miller, Ben Shahn, and Dorothea Tanning. And it was Levy who initiated the cocktail opening. This book, which accompanies an exhibition on the Julien Levy Gallery, includes reproductions of paintings, photographs, and film stills from museums and private collections, as well as art and ephemera from Levy's own collection. It offers accounts of Levy and his gallery from several perspectives." (solapa anterior)
