"The Charles Egan Gallery opened at 63 East 57th Street (Manhattan) in about 1945, when Charles Egan was in his mid-30's. A group show the next year included works by de Kooning, Joseph Stella, Joseph Albers. Among the other artists Mr. Egan began featuring were Joseph Cornell, Louise Bourgeois, Philip Guston, Noguchi, Elias Goldberg, Reuben Nakian, Knox Martin, Raoul Hague, and Peter Golfinopoulos.
Irving Sandler wrote that because of an exhibition held at this gallery in 1948, "de Kooning was established as a major Abstract Expressionist, second only to Pollock in reputation and soon to be the most influential artist of his generation."[1]
