Goss-Michael Foundation (goss-michaelfoundation.org)
has been honored to be selected
as one of the top ten private contemporary art museums in the United States by
artnet© News . The Goss-Michael Foundation joins an
esteemed list including The Brant Foundation Study Center, the Rubell Family
Collection and notable others. The Goss-Michael Foundation and the Linda
Pace Foundation are two Texas foundations honored this year.
The Goss-Michael Foundation is one of the leading contemporary
British art collections in the United States. Founded by George Michael and
Kenny Goss in 2007, the Goss-Michael Foundation has made its place in Dallas
and across the United States as a unique art space dedicating its exhibition
programming to some of the most important artists in recent contemporary art
history including Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Marc Quinn, and
Michael Craig-Martin.
“When
George Michael and I originally envisioned a museum solely focused on YBAs, we
wanted to educate the public about the extraordinary art talents established
and emerging in the UK. As a Dallas native, I was fortunate to bring this
collection to the city and find a home for The Goss-Michael Foundation.
The hundreds of thousands of U.S. and international visitors who have walked
through our doors have been able to enjoy and meet some of the greatest UK
artists,” said Kenny Goss.
The
Goss-Michael Foundation has continued its extensive support of UK causes and
artists by bringing the MTV
RE:DEFINE event to Dallas for three years. MTV RE:DEFINE (www.mtvredefine.com
) is a dynamic exhibition and auction that brings together music with iconic
and specially commissioned artworks by established and emerging talent.
It has raised close to USD$4 million to date. Scheduled for April 10, 2015, and held at The Goss-Michael
Foundation, the event is produced in collaboration with and benefits The MTV
Staying Alive Foundation, The Goss-Michael Foundation and Dallas Contemporary. (www.mtvredefine.com). The 2015 event will
honor renowned artist Michael Craig-Martin.
