Dix, George.

In 1948, already established as an art dealer, George Dix began his partnership with R. Kirk Askew at the New York gallery of Durlacher Bros., where he handled the British painters represented by the gallery. After 124 years of business, Durlacher Bros. closed in 1967. Dix, having worked for many years with contemporary artists, made plans to open a gallery in his own name, concentrating on old master drawings and paintings.
