Peter Marcelle has been immersed in the New York art scene since the early 1970’s. Through his close friendship with Andy Warhol, he sold his first portrait commission and was interviewed in the Andy Warhol short film that same year. In 1981, Marcelle became the director of American paintings at Hammer Gallery in New York and held that position for the remainder of the decade until he opened Marcelle Fine Art on Madison Avenue. Throughout the late 70’s and 80’s, Marcelle’s career was defined by his involvement with the Wyeth family, most notably Andrew. He was heavily involved with "Two Worlds of Andrew Wyeth" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1976 and is credited for the 1989 sale of Wyeth’s entire Helga collection. Other career milestones include co-curating the Wyeth exhibition "Autobiography" with Thomas Hoving at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City in 1985, curating "Andrew Wyeth in Perspective" at the Palm Springs Art Museum from October 2011 to January 2012, and being the only private dealer to have a sanctioned one-man show by the Wyeth family called "New New England" in 1991. In 2001, Marcelle transitioned to a more contemporary focus when he co-curated the show "Fresh Paint" at his Hampton Road Gallery in Southampton, New York. Since the early 2000’s, Marcelle has owned galleries in Bridgehampton and Southampton and served as a managing director with Gerald Peters Gallery in New York. His current Southampton gallery, MM Fine Art, is a collaboration with his business partner, Catherine McCormick, and his son, Andrew Marcelle.
