historical notes

Zigrosser's professional career and his study of art began with the New York print dealer, Frederick Keppel & Co., for whom he worked until 1917.

In 1919, Zigrosser established and directed the Weyhe Gallery, an outgrowth of the Weyhe bookstore in Manhattan.

Zigrosser was the print curator at Philadelphia Museum of Art 1940-1963, and elected a trustee of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1952. He authored many books on prints and other works of art.
