Avery was a native of New York, where he was born in 1822. He started in life as an engraver, then set up business as an en- graver, art publisher, and dealer in oil paintings and water-colors. In 1867 he was appointed Commissioner to the Paris Universal Exhibition for the American Art Department, and in the following year he opened an art gallery in New York, where for twenty years he dealt in foreign and domestic art. In 1885 he retired from busi- ness, and was succeeded by his son, S. P. Ave...ry, Jr. Mr. Avery was active in many public enter- prises, especially those relating to the fine arts. For a long time he was secretary of the Art Com- mittee of the Union League Club, whose efforts led to the formation of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which Mr. Avery became one of the 23 SAMUEL P. AVERY founders and trustees. He was one of the original committee for the erection of the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty in the harbor of New York. He was also a trustee of the New York Public Library; president of the Grolier Club; vice-presi- dent of the Sculpture Society; honorary member of the Architectural League, and of the Typothetae Society; besides being a member of numerous other societies.
