Nasli Heeramaneck (1902 – March 29, 1971) was a Parsi-American art dealer, specializing in Asian and Pre-Columbian art. Born in Bombay, he moved to New York in the 1920s, and lived and worked there until his death.[1] Works collected by him and his wife, Alice, are now held by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[2] the National Museum of New Delhi,[3] and Yale University.[4]
