Thannhauser Galleries

Designed by local architect Paul Wenz, it occupied over 2,600 square feet of the glass-domed Arcopalais.

The gallery also participated in the Armory Show of 1913, the watershed exhibition that introduced European Modernism to the United States, and mounted the first major Pablo Picasso retrospective during the same year.

He ran the branch until 1921, when he was called back to Munich to assist his father, who had developed a serious condition in his larynx.

Over the years, Heinrich and Justin Thannhauser purchased, traded or had on consignment 107 works by Van Gogh or attributed to him.

[1] The gift, containing over 70 works in total,[4] provides an important antecedent to the Guggenheim Museum's contemporary collection and thus has allowed the institution to represent the full range of modern art.
