Eye to Eye

The New York Academy of Art is pleased to present its renowned exhibition series “Eye to Eye,” featuring the collection of Anne-Marie and Pierre Trahan, owners of Arsenal Contemporary. Now in its fifth 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. 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.
