CRS Outings: Tour the Art Collection at the Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 • 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
This event is for CRS members only. Learn more about membership at CRS here.
First established in 1974 with donations from over two dozen close friends and supporters of American artist Chaim Gross (1902-91), the Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation is located in the couple’s historic Greenwich Village townhouse and the artist’s studio space at 526 LaGuardia Place. The Foundation stewards an extensive collection of over 12,000 objects that includes Gross’s sculptures, drawings, and prints; a photographic archive; and Gross’s large personal collection of African, Oceanic, Pre-Columbian, American, and European art that remains installed in the townhouse as Gross had it during his lifetime. Our tour will explore three floors, including Gross’s first-floor sculpture studio and gallery, renovated in 1963 by the artist and later restored in 2017-18, as well as the Foundation’s special exhibition space on the second floor. The third floor houses the Grosses’ living and dining space featuring hundreds of works from their extensive private art collection.
CRS Outings is made possible by a generous donation from Marcia and David Lavipour.
