Davidson, Peter Hamilton (American gallerist, 1942-1991)
|
Note: Peter Hamilton Davidson, son of William F. and Edna Davidson, graduated from Georgetown University in 1960 with a B.A. in English and Philosophy. Upon graduation he followed in his father's footsteps, joining the New York art gallery, M. Knoedler & Co., Inc., as Assistant to the Head of the American Department. In 1968, Davidson succeeded his father as Head of the American Department and was named Vice President of M. Knoedler & Co. In 1969, Davidson joined the firm of Wildenstein & Co. as Head of the American Department, where he was assisted by Nicholas Wyeth. He left Wildenstein in 1971 to form his own art gallery, Peter H. Davidson & Co., Inc. While Davidson's gallery dealt primarily with American art from all periods, it also handled some 19th and 20th century European pieces. Many prominent works were sold through the gallery, including paintings by Albert Bierstadt, Winslow Homer, Marsden Hartley, and Andrew Wyeth.
