historical notes
|
Adolph "Adolpho" Loewi was a dealer of paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts.
He was a dealer of textiles and costumes, selling to collectors and museums in the U.S. and Europe. Much of LACMA’s textile collection and its archive of documentation related to the field came from Loewi. Adolph Loewi, a German Jew, established his business in Venice in 1911 and a branch in New York in 1933/34. In early 1939 he left Italy with his family; they brought with them personal possessions and much of their stock. Settling first in New York, they moved to Beverly Hills in the summer of 1939. In Los Angeles the firm of Adolph Loewi, Inc., later divided; the textile business became known as Loewi-Robertson and was directed by his daughter and son-in-law.
Prewar files burned in Venice; pocket stock books (with Mrs. Robertson) have some information; 1939-88?
