Brant Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brant Foundation Art Study Center is a private art collection and gallery with exhibition spaces in New York City and nearby Greenwich, Connecticut. The collections, focused on modern and contemporary art, are privately owned by Peter Brant and open to the public; reservations must be booked in advance.
The Foundation's East Village, Manhattan museum opened in 2019 at 421 East 6th Street, a yellow-brick former Consolidated Edison substation.[1] The renovation of the space, described by art critic Deborah Solomon as "austere perfection", was done by Richard Gluckman of Gluckman Tang Architects.[1] After ceasing to be a ConEd substation, the building was purchased by the artist Walter De Maria, serving as his studio; Brant bought it for $27 million after the artist died in 2013.[2][3]
