On
October 15, renowned art collector Emily
Fisher Landau held a cocktail party to celebrate
the 15th anniversary of the Fisher Landau
Center for Art and the publication of her
new book We Had Such A Good Time: The Memories
of Emily Fisher Landau.
The Fisher Landau Center for Art, opened in 1991,
is a 25,000 square-foot exhibition and study facility
in Long Island City, Queens. The core of the 1,100
work collection spans 1960 to the present. It contains
key works by artists who have shaped the most significant
art of the last 40 years, including Richard
Artschwager, Donald Baechler, John
Baldessari, Jenny Holzer, Alfredo
Jaar, Neil Jenney, Jasper
Johns, Donald Judd, Sherrie
Levine, Glenn Ligon, Agnes
Martin, Robert Rauschenberg, Susan
Rothenberg, Ed Ruscha, Kiki
Smith, Mark Tansey, and Cy
Twombly.
Emily Fisher Landau's insightful
selection of works by contemporary masters, many
of which she bought from the artists early in their
careers, and her ongoing commitment to emerging artists,
is reflected in exhibitions presented at the Fisher
Landau Center for Art.
