The Macbeth Gallery (1892–1953) was an art gallery in New York, N.Y. founded by William Macbeth. It was the first commercial gallery at that time to deal solely in American art. The most famous exhibition held at the gallery was "The Eight," held in 1908.[1]
The artists who comprised "The Eight" were:
- William Glackens (1870–1938)
- Robert Henri (1865–1929)
- George Luks (1867–1933)
- Everett Shinn (1876–1953)
- John French Sloan (1871–1951)
- Arthur B. Davies (1862–1928)
- Ernest Lawson (1873–1939)
- Maurice Prendergast (1859–1924)
William Macbeth's son Robert Macbeth joined the gallery in 1909, becoming president in 1917. He established the Gallery as one of the leading firms in New York. Robert McIntyre, nephew of William Macbeth, joined the firm in 1903 and became president of the gallery on the death of his cousin Robert in 1940. McIntyre closed the Gallery in 1953.
