Margherita Stein (1921-2003) was an Italian gallerist and an art collector (also known as Margherita von Stein).
Stein opened the influential Christian Stein Gallery in 1966 in Turin, Italy in her apartment via Teofilo Rossi 3.[1] She used her husband's name (Christian) instead of her own, as a kind of nom de plume, as to avoid any prejudices against her work as a woman.[2] Most well known for her early support for artists associated with Arte Povera, Stein's work fostered the careers of artists like Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Francesco Lo Savio, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Giovanni Anselmo, Gilberto Zorio, Piero Gilardi, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone and Marisa Merz and other important post-WWII artists like Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, Ettore Colla, and Mimmo Rotella.
Her original Turin gallery closed in 1996. A second location was opened in Milan on Corso Monforte in 1985 (still existent) and then in New York City (1898-1992) under the name Stein Gladstone Gallery, partnering with the Barbara Gladstone Gallery.[3] These new spaces in Milan and New York showed work by both Italian and other European and North American artists, including Richard Serra, Gilbert & George, Jeff Wall, and Claes Oldenburg among others.[3]
After her death in 2003, a number of major exhibitions have highlighted the importance of her work. In 2010, an exhibition and catalogue titled Collezione Christian Stein: una storia dell'arte italiana = a history of Italian art, by Jean Louis Maubant and Francisco Jarauta Marión was produced.[4]. In 2011, a digital exhibition with the same name highlighting the works displayed at her galleries was put on for the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.[5] In 2016, an exhibition highlighting her contribution to the career of Guido Paolini opened at the Gallery bearing her name curated by Bettina Della Casa.[6] In 2017, a large exhibition honoring her work was put on at the new arts organization Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, New York titled Margherita Stein: Rebel With a Cause.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The show was heralded with bringing a deeper knowledge of Arte Povera to the US.[16]
