Gabriel P. Weisberg is an American art historian.
He is a professor of Nineteenth-Century Art and Decorative and Graphic Arts at the University of Minnesota. Professor Weisberg graduated from New York University in 1963 with a BA and continued his art history education at the Johns Hopkins University, where he was first mentored by Medievalist Adolf Katzenellenbogen (1901-1964) and then by Christopher Gray (b.1915) who specialized in 19th century art. Weisberg's doctoral dissertation was on the 19th century art critic Philippe Burty (1830-1890), a chief proponent of Japonisme in France. In 1978 Editions Geoffroy-Dechaume published Weisberg's critical analysis on the life and work of the 19th century French Realist master Francois Bonvin. Professor Weisberg was a past president of the Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art. In 2004 Professor Weisberg, along with Edwin Becker of the Van Gogh Museum and Evelyne Possémé of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, compiled the exhibition "L'Art Nouveau: The Bing Empire" which took place at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
In 2008 the festschrift "Twenty-First-Century Perspectives on Nineteenth-Century Art: Essays in Honor of Gabriel P. Weisberg" was published by the University of Delaware Press. Included are a series of 30 essays from noted art historians celebrating Professor Weisberg's long and successful career; contributors include: Petra ten-Doesschate Chu (professor of art history at Seton Hall University), Laurinda S. Dixon (professor of art history at Syracuse University), Geneviève Lacambre (curator emeritus at the Musee d'Orsay, Paris), Annette Leduc Beaulieu (director of the Edouard Vuillard Catalogue Raisonné project) and John Zukowsky (chief curator at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum).
