| history |
The Thannhauser Galleries, also known as Galerien Thannhauser, was established by Heinrich Thannhauser (1859-1935) in 1909 in Munich. The gallery’s operations were limited during World War I, and after the war Heinrich’s son, Justin K. Thannhauser (1892-1976), took over its leadership. The Munich gallery remained open until 1928. With his cousin, Siegfried Rosengart (1894-1985), Justin opened a gallery in Lucerne, Switzerland with his cousin. They later opened a gallery in Berlin. Being forced to leave Germany, Justin established the gallery in Paris in 1937. In 1939, once again due to Nazi activity, the gallery closed. Justin fled France for New York City where he established himself as a private art dealer. |
