bioghist: label: Biographical / Historical
content: Marie Sterner (1880-1953) was an art dealer who worked mainly in New York City. Born in Brooklyn, Sterner started her career in 1912 when she was hired by the Knoedler and Co. art gallery. In the early 1920s, she left Knoedler to open her own eponymous gallery at 210 East 57th Street. The Marie Sterner Gallery was instrumental in advancing the cause of American artists in the early 20th century. Sterner's gallery worked with George Bellows, Marcel Duchamp, Guy Pène du Bois, Everett Shinn, Abbott Thayer, Hedda Sterne, John Sloan, William Zorach, and others. It was also one of the first galleries in the United States to exhibit works by Cézanne, Augustus John, and William Orpen. The gallery was eventually bought by Leonard Clayton who later formed the Clayton-Liberatore Gallery.
