The awards are funded and supported by the Francis J. Greenburger Foundation. A reserved dinner will follow the event. (For dinner reservations, call (212) 206-6060) Francis J. Greenburger, a New York real estate developer, is the founder and chairman of Art Omi International Arts Center, a multi-disciplinary residency program for artists, writers, and musicians from around the world, and The Fields Sculpture Park in Columbia County, New York. In his introduction to the Awards catalogue, Greenburger writes: “My goal in awarding the Greenburger Prize…has been to identify and celebrate artists whom knowledgeable people from the art world know to be of extraordinary merit, but who for one reason or another have not been fully recognized by the world at large.” Five jurors, chosen for their outstanding reputations (an artist, a gallerist, a collector, a museum director or curator, and a critic or art historian) were asked to select artists from their own experience who they feel fit the definition of the award. This year, the awards, consisting of a cash prize of $7500 for each awardee, will be presented to: Robert Bechtle, selected by gallerist Barbara Gladstone Lee Bontecou, selected by Ann Philbin, director of UCLA’s Hammer Museum Kazuko Miyamoto, selected by artist Leon Golub Dorothea Rockburne, selected by critic Michael Brenson Joe Zucker, selected by collector Martin Z. Margulies An illustrated catalog is available upon request.
