Grace Nicholson, Dealer and Photographer
Grace Nicholson, active 1902 to 1915, was a California dealer in American Indian art at the turn of the century who used photography to document the pieces of art she bought and sold and the artists who created them. She was sympathetic to the American Indian and stated once, We must recognize the Indian as an individual and not a tribe. (Palmquist 1997: 239). Much of Nicholson’s photography and diaries are located at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
