Join ArtTable for a private collection tour at the Deutsche Bank Center.

Located in the center of one of the world’s most multi-cutural cities, the Deutsche Bank Collection at Columbus Circle reflects New York’s globally renowned and vibrant contemporary art scene. Since it was established in the late 1970s, the collection has focused on the medium of paper, and there is a reason for this: the idea was that art should not be hung only on the executive floors and lobbies, but in all of its offices and retail branches. Works on paper, drawings, collages, and photographs serve this purpose well, among other things because of their high artistic quality and their experimental spirit. With this strategy, the Deutsche Bank Collection broke new ground at the time.

Highlights of the Deutsche Bank Collection include Joan Mitchell, Jennie C. Jones, Helen
Frankenthaler, Wangechi Mutu, Keith Haring, Eva Hesse, Carrie Mae Weems, Amy Sillman, and more. You can read more about the collection here.

Program Admission: This program is open to ArtTable Executive, Circle, Patron, and Benefactor members until October 3. If space allows, this program will open to other membership levels and the general public.

ArtTable community members are invited on a special tour of Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams, led by Cecilia Wichmann, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Baltimore Museum of Art and co-curator of the exhibition. Best known for her virtuosic use of beads and glass, Joyce J. Scott’s works across all media beguile viewers with beauty and humor while confronting racism, sexism, ecological devastation, and complex family dynamics. For five decades, Scott (born Baltimore, MD, 1948) has upended hierarchies of art and craft, insisting that artistic expression is that “extra inch of life” that nourishes the soul even in the most challenging circumstances. Co-organized with the Seattle Art Museum and developed in close collaboration with the artist, this comprehensive career retrospective reveals the full breadth of Scott’s utterly unique vision through nearly 140 objects, from her woven tapestries and soft sculpture of the 1970s to her audacious genre-defying performances of the 1980s, and her ascendancy as a sculptor of astonishing social force and formal ingenuity.

About Studio Daniel Canogar

Daniel Canogar’s works are are often driven by a custom-designed algorithm that gathers real- time data via the internet. The final outcome of these artworks is often hypnotic and varies across different media including generative animations on LED screens, metal works, recycled- glass mosaics, or wallpaper. Many of the artworks are an attempt to integrate generative art into the history of art, as they explore unexpected aesthetic influences, such as postwar Abstract Expressionism, Performance, and Op Art from the 1960s, among others. Canogar has created permanent public art installations for Nike World Headquarters (Beaverton, OR), the Sobrato Foundation (Mountain View, CA), Tampa International Airport (Tampa, FL) and the Novartis Pavilion (Basel, Switzerland), among others. He currently exhibits with bitforms gallery in New York, Galerie Anita Beckers in Frankfurt, and Max Estrella Gallery in Madrid. He has exhibited extensively in major museums and galleries across the world, including Reina Sofia Art Museum, Madrid; The Phillips Collection, Washington DC; ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe; Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus OH; Hamburger Bahnhof Museum, Berlin; Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA and Art Vault at the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation, Santa Fe, NM. His work will be included in a forthcoming exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, “Digital Witness,” curated by Britt Salveson as part of the Pacific Standard Time initiative.

Stacie Martinez is the Los Angeles Studio Director for Daniel Canogar. Prior to this she was director at Los Angeles galleries Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, Philip Martin Gallery, and Christopher Grimes Gallery. She began her career as Curatorial Associate at the Orange County Museum of Art, and was Program and Panel Co-Chair for the Southern California Chapter of ArtTable from 2016-2018.

New York, NY | ArtTable Circle – Collection Visit with Alice Sachs Zimet

December 14, 2022 | 6:30 pm

Interior of Alice Sachs Zimet's home; 3 rows of shelves showcasing photographs

ArtTable Circle members are invited to join us for a very special collection visit at the home of Alice Sachs Zimet.

Alice Sachs Zimet began to collect photography in early 1985 at a time when the medium was not recognized as a serious art form. The marketplace was nascent. There were few to no photo-only galleries, photo-only art fairs, photo-only auctions, and it was rare to find a photography exhibition in a museum. While there was little acknowledgement, Alice consistently defended her love of the medium even when most challenged her by saying ‘it’s not art’.

Today, fine art photography is a major global player with increased attention, respect, and market share. There are blockbuster museum shows, photo-only auctions, photo-only art fairs and photo-only galleries. And of course, the number of photo collectors and prices have increased significantly.

Zimet’s lifelong passion for the arts began with her parents who were print collectors, collecting images by Vuillard, Bonnard, Vlaminck, Rouault, and Lautrec, among others. Her world was always steeped in the arts – professionally and academically. She holds two degrees in art history and her early professional career began at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

However, her life changed when, for the next 20 years, Zimet worked at The Chase Manhattan Bank where she created a new sponsorship marketing department and became Director, Worldwide Cultural Affairs. She was given a small year-end bonus, which soon became her collecting budget — whether for one photograph or the purchase of several. But that was her acquisition budget for the year.

Zimet has made a conscious effort to buy from all sources — galleries, auctions, benefit auctions, art fairs and even trades. With a collecting career spanning nearly 40 years, she has developed deep personal relationships with professionals across every aspect of the field. Her collection has grown to roughly 350 museum-quality images, where she lives surrounded by the vast majority. “I consciously do not have storage. I live with most of my images surrounding me. With storage, I would not be able to control my collecting impulse. So, my walls provide that boundary.”

This program is open to ArtTable Circle members for $45 each.
Members may bring a guest for $55.
Registration is required below.
