{"title":"André Emmerich","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndré Emmerich (1924–2007) was a New York dealer whose gallery at 41 East 57th Street operated from 1954 to 1997, becoming one of the most significant commercial spaces for postwar American art and Pre-Columbian antiquities. Emmerich represented major figures including Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, and David Hockney, while simultaneously building a parallel programme of archaeological material from Mesoamerica and the Andes. His exhibition catalogues — produced with consistent rigour across both programmes — remain important documents of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"animals-in-pre-columbian-art-emmerich-1965","title":"Animals in Pre-Columbian Art — André Emmerich Inc., New York, 1965","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndré Emmerich Inc., New York, 1965\u003cbr\u003eExhibition catalogue\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e21 × 29.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnimals in Pre-Columbian Art: A Comprehensive Exhibition of animals — wild, domestic and divine — in stone, pottery, textile, jade and gold from 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1500.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished on the occasion of an exhibition held at André Emmerich Inc., New York, 1965.
