Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation

The Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1989 dedicated to the study of modern American sculptor Chaim Gross (1902–91), his contemporaries, and the history of 20th-century American art.

It is located in the sculptor's four-story historic home on LaGuardia Place in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood and is open to the public.

[1] The first floor is the artist's sculpture studio, featuring a dramatic skylight and an array of tools and materials related to the process of direct carving, which Gross pioneered in America in the late 1920s.

The Foundation also hosts related programs including artist's talks and poetry readings, as well as joint programs with the SoHo Arts Network, a consortium of downtown arts non-profits founded in 2015.

The third floor is the family's living and dining space which remains as it was during the artist's lifetime, featuring a Salon-style installation by Gross of his wide-ranging collection.
