He was an art dealer best known for founding and running the New York Weyhe Gallery in the 1920s and 1930s, and as Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art between 1940 and 1963. In the 1910s, he was active in New York's anarchist movement. Carl graduated from Newark Academy in 1908 and earned a scholarship to Columbia University, from which he graduated in 1911, Phi Beta Kappa. In 1915, he began writing for The Modern School Magazine, a publication concerning key issues in libertarian education, and took over as editor in 1917. He began his art career working for Frederick Keppel, a New York print dealer. There he learned the art trade and met many famous collectors, literati, artists (most notably Rockwell Kent) and curators. He became curator of prints at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. During his curatorship, he was made vice director of the museum in 1955, served as vice-director of the Print Council of America and vice president of the Print Club of Philadelphia. In 1961, he received an honorary degree from Temple University. He was elected a trustee of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. After his retirement Zigrosser remained active in the art world, serving as associate of the Whitney Museum of Art and exhibition organizer for the Museum of Modern Art (excerpts from Wikipedia). If there were someone who could write a book about prints, it was he. ----CONDITION: Lacking the dust jacket. Front cover scratched. Spine worn at bottom. Text in very good condition ----E3103.
