Marie Harriman Gallery was established on East 57th Street in New York in 1930, the same year that Marie Norton Whitney married W. Averell Harriman. The Harrimans had begun collecting art almost immediately after their marriage. Harriman family friend, the American artist Walt Kuhn (1877-1949)acted as an unofficial advisor to Marie Harriman Gallery as well as exhibiting and selling through Harriman. He sometimes joined Marie and Averell on their annual buying trips to Paris. (English)
