Lucy Wertheim: Adventure in Art (1947) (Signed)

In 1930 pioneering female gallerist Lucy Wertheim opened The Wertheim Gallery in London. Wertheim challenged the established art scene conventions; she was a woman without formal art training, driven by intuition and a belief that young British artists should have the same opportunities as their European counterparts. Adventure in Art is Lucy’s 1947 autobiography, telling the story of her career in the British Modernist era. Inscribed by Lucy Wertheim: “To Marie Hart with the compliments of the author Lucy Wertheim”.  Condition: very good in good + only dust-jacket (chiping and creasing to edges with some small losses to head and tail of spine)
