In the Galleries
IN THE GALLERIES
BY GUY PENE DU BOIS
Art dealers see in the people, and particularly
in the picture buying part of the people, a
flurry of excitement, fostered by uncertainty, which
will keep them from the galleries until the presiden-
tial election shall have been decided. They predict,
in fact, no art moves of importance until the new year.
The schedule of sales at the American Art Galleries,
for example, at the present writing, has not even been
made out. Meanwhile the old entrance to the galleries
is to be converted into a flower stand possibly, and a
new entrance which cuts into the old Hotel Bartholdi
is under the process of construction. It is to be of
marble. The upper galleries are to be reached now
by elevators. The preserves of the old hotel, as in
the instance of the entrance, have yielded an addi-
tional gallery. This will be used, exclusively, for the
display and sale of books, prints and manuscripts.
The first sign of activity in these galleries will come
in December with the exhibition of the work of Scandi-
navian painters arranged by Mr. Christian Brinton.

Sculptors Society to be held in the Sixty-
ninth Regiment Armory in February,
promises to be one of the events of the
season, which will be officially opened,
as is the custom, with the exhibition of
the New York Water Color Club.
Elsewhere the signs of awakening are
becoming more pronounced. All the
steamers now arriving unload a special
shipment of old masters and antiques.
The Custom Stores are crowded to their
capacity. Dealers, as usual at this time
of year, are lamenting conditions which
make delay of the arrival of pictures in
their galleries inevitable. Some say that
the amount of art importations has broken
all records since the removal of duty on
old works of art.
Lithographs and etchings of the Panama
Canal, by Joseph Pennell, were shown at
Keppel’s from September 19th to October
12th. The biographer of Whistler has
written an introduction to the catalogue
