The records of Galerie Darthea Speyer were donated to the Archives of American Art in 2010.
The records include a trove of information painter Beauford Delaney, notably his years in Paris. Speyer was one of Delaney’s most ardent admirers and worked tirelessly to advance his career. Documents on Delaney from the Galery Darthea Spayer records are currently on view in our exhibit Expanding the Legacy: New Collections on African American Art in our Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery.
