Anne Lilly's 'Nuclear Family' Will Join the Barnett & Annalee Newman Foundation Collection of the Jewish Museum

August 1, 2018

The Jewish Museum announced today that it has received a major gift from The Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation, established in 1996 by Annalee Newman, the artist's widow. Included in the gift is a collection of art by more than 40 artists who received the Barnett and Annalee Newman Award, given annually since 2004 to artists who exemplified Newman’s values and his spirit of artistic independence and individuality. Anne Lilly received this important award in 2013.

One work from each of these artists will be purchased with funds from the Newman Foundation and gifted to the Jewish Museum. Artists include Lynda Benglis, Mark Bradford, Tony Cragg, Rebecca Horn, Joan Jonas, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Larry Poons, Nancy Rubins, Richard Serra, Sarah Sze, Philip Taaffe, Terry Winters, and Jack Youngerman, among others. This will be the first time many of these artists will have their work included in the Jewish Museum’s collection.
