Matthew Marks announces Artists for Artists: 51st Anniversary Exhibition to Benefit the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the next exhibition in his gallery at 526 West 22nd Street. This is the Foundation for Contemporary Arts’ fourteenth benefit exhibition. Organized by Brooke Alexander, Cecily Brown, Robert Gober, Anne Dias Griffin, Agnes Gund, Jasper Johns, Julian Lethbridge, Glenn Ligon, Kara Walker, and T. J. Wilcox, Artists for Artists will raise funds for the Foundation’s grants to artists.
The Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts was established in 1963 when John Cage (1912–92) and Jasper Johns joined together to organize a benefit exhibition in support of their friends and colleagues in the performance arts. Sixty-seven artists contributed to this landmark show; with proceeds from the exhibition, the Foundation began making grants to performing artists. Now known as the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, it remains fifty-one years later the only institution of its kind, created by artists to benefit artists.
