On the fifth stop of
On the fifth stop of this six-part virtual road trip, we’ll immerse ourselves in the home of sculptor Chaim Gross and his wife and muse, Renee.
Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, this four-story townhouse contained the couple's domestic residence and their creative workspaces. Chaim Gross’s one-of-a-kind studio features an intricate wood floor, dramatic skylight, and over 50 of his major wood, stone, and bronze sculptures. Exploring the present-day site, we’ll hear about the programs and opportunities that connect contemporary artists and audiences to the Grosses’ collections, home, and legacy.
ABOUT THE HAHS VIRTUAL ROAD TRIP 2023
Fueled by the James Castle House and the Historic Artists' Homes and Studios (HAHS) program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this six-part, monthly series ventures deep into the museums and preserved spaces that nurtured the creation of thousands of American artworks. Join us as we travel across the USA (virtually) from California to New York to discover the environments, architecture, and private landscapes of six different artists and the spaces that supported their art-making practices.
ABOUT THE RENEE & CHAIM GROSS FOUNDATION
The Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation preserves and interprets the historic home, studio, and art collections of American sculptor Chaim Gross (1902-1991) and his wife Renee (1909-2005). Chaim Gross is renowned for his direct carvings in wood as well as his bronzes, often of families, acrobats, and dancers. Located in Greenwich Village, the building was originally designed by Joseph M. Dunn as a storefront with lofts above and purchased by the Grosses in 1961. The Foundation’s mission is to further the legacy of Chaim Gross through high-quality research, exhibitions, and educational activities around the historic building and art collections for audiences in New York City and beyond. The Foundation stewards the Grosses’ extensive collections of African, American, European, Pre-Columbian, Oceanic, and decorative arts in addition to an archive and library.
