Abby Weed Grey

Abby Weed Grey (1902–1983) was an art collector and patron for whom New York University's Grey Art Gallery is named. Grey had a particular interest in non-Western modern art, and pieces from the Middle East were particularly well-represented in her collection.

Grey was also the author of The Picture is the Window; the Window is the Picture, her autobiography, which was published by New York University Press.
