LARRY WEINBERG

Larry Weinberg graduated from Amherst College, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, with degrees in English and American Studies. After curatorial engagements at the Brooklyn Museum, Historic Deerfield and other historical institutions, he was awarded a fellowship by the distinguished Hagley Program in the History of Technology. 

In 1989, the nascent mid-century design market piqued his academic interest and he spent the next five years researching in Delaware and Princeton, while cutting his teeth in the field. In 1994, he co-founded Lin-Weinberg Gallery, which quickly became a destination for celebrities, designers and wide-ranging clients from film studios to tech companies. During its tenure in Soho, and later in Gramercy Park, the unique, intellectually rigorous programming of the gallery contributed substantially to the scholarship of modern design and witnessed its meteoric ascent in the market. The critically-acclaimed 1997 exhibition "Edward Wormley: The Other Face of Modernism" was responsible for inducting the designer into the modernist canon. Lin-Weinberg also exhibited annually at the Park Avenue Armory "Modernism" fair, a precursor to today's TEFAF and Salon. 

In 2009, the Museum of the City of New York presented, in conjunction with their blockbuster Eero Saarinen show, a dedicated exhibition of the Lin-Weinberg collection, "The Future at Home: American Furniture, 1940-55". This was a collaboration virtually unheard of for a non-profit cultural institution, and a testament to Larry’s academic and curatorial pedigree.

In that same year, Larry opened his own gallery under the name Weinberg Modern, and returned more to his scholarly roots, reflected in his offerings of not only iconic examples of modern design, but more important, singular and exceedingly scarce artistic creations with prominent institutional history and extensive academic provenance. In addition, he has been an adjunct professor at Sotheby’s Institute graduate program, written chapters for two monographs, regularly spoken on panels, and for eleven years, served as a columnist for Interior Design Magazine, a platform he has utilized to advocate for many previously marginalized designers.

KATRINA WEINBERG

KATRINA WEINBERG is an alumna of New York University’s Department of Art History, where she received a classical education in the pedagogical tradition of H. W. Janson. Her academic interests are 19th century paintings — in particular, the career of John William Waterhouse, R.A.; and the representation of the ballerina, traced through her evolution in visual and material culture. Her introduction to the book trade was at the Books and Manuscripts Department at Sotheby's New York, which was fitting, as the auction house itself had antiquarian roots. After working as a ballet teacher, répétiteur and choreographer in the city, she returned to the book world; she's been the left brain of Weinberg Modern Books since its debut.
