Emily Harvey Foundation
The Emily Harvey Foundation (Emily Harvey Foundation) is a going back to Emily Kreis Harvey (1941-2004) Foundation , which has set itself the goal of promoting mature artist. For this purpose, the foundation, which itself owns a New York art collection, provides temporary accommodation for the artists in both New York and Venice ( artist in residence ). These are located at 537 Broadway or San Polo 322. In Venice, it also maintains the Archivio Emily Harvey , which on the one hand serves the residents , as the artists are called who stay in the foundation's house, on the other hand there are exhibitions and performances, Film screenings and readings, workshops and seminars take place.
Emily Harvey ran a gallery between 1983 and 2004 , founded as the "Grommet Gallery", which today comprises more than 2000 works, including works by George Brecht , John Cage , Marcel Duchamp , Robert Filliou , Al Hansen , Ray Johnson , Alison Knowles , La Monte Young , Charlotte Moorman , Nam June Paik , Carolee Schneemann , Daniel Spoerri . The president of the foundation is (as of 2019) Davidson Gigliotti.
Emily Harvey bought the gallery space from Fluxus artist George Maciunas in 1992 to open a gallery there. In 1994 she moved to Venice and opened a second gallery there in 2001. She commuted back and forth between New York and Venice, where she "played a key role in supporting the movement of the avant-garde". The artists she sponsored often left her gifts, from which the collection emerged.
