Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation (ESKFF), in conjunction with Mana Contemporary, is pleased to invite you to our 3rd exhibition where we will debut some of our newest 2011 acquisitions by collector and founder Eileen S. Kaminsky.
Held during New York's Armory Art Week, the exhibition will include works by artists Trudy Benson, Birgit Brenner, Kadar Brock, Damien Cabanes, George Condo, Oleg Dou, Walton Ford, KAORUKO, Olivier Masmonteil, Matthias Meyer, Ryan Mosley, Elizabeth Murray, Joyce Pensato, Enoc Perez, Paul Pretzer, Alexis Rockman and Do-Ho Suh, among others.
Founded in 2009, the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation was inspired by Ms. Kaminsky's passion for the arts and her desire to create an alternative space to exhibit works from private contemporary collections often unseen by the public eye. ESKFF seeks to build connections between artists, collectors, galleries and cultural institutions.
By providing a space where collectors can exhibit their work, the ESKFF's 4,000 sq. ft. facility creates a collaborative environment that facilitates the exchange of ideas and expressions.
Events happening at Mana Contemporary in conjunction with this opening:
Sympathetic Resonance and Oculus
