In Memoriam: Marcuse ‘Cusie’ Pfeifer
Cusie Pfeifer devoted her whole life to the recognition of photography as an art form. In 1976, she opened the very first gallery entirely devoted to photography in New York, located on Madison Avenue. She defended artists like Sally Mann and Peter Hujar. She was the first president of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). For almost ten years, she was a founding member and curator of the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center in Kingston. Finally, as a great collector, she bequeathed part of her wealth to the collections of the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in SUNY New Paltz.
