Eye to Eye

 

 

The New York Academy of Art is pleased to present its renowned exhibition series “Eye to Eye,” featuring the collection of New York realtor Jonathan Travis and Wolf Hill. Now in its fourth iteration, “Eye to Eye” asks a prominent collector to select works by Academy MFA students, which are then exhibited side by side with pieces from the patron’s own collection, selected by the student artists themselves. In previous years, the series has featured the collections of Laura Skoler and John L. Thomson and exhibited artists ranging from Louise Bourgeois to Marlene Dumas alongside student works. The exhibition acts as a reflection of the collector’s eye and a commentary on artistic influence and relative value in the contemporary art world.
