In 1938 he opened his own art gallery which specialized in 19th-century American paintings, particularly the Hudson River and Ash Can Schools. After three years he closed his gallery and became the manager of the John Levy Gallery, where he stayed until in 1952, when he and Abraham Adler cofounded the Hirschl & Adler Gallery.
