Foundation 20 21 was a New York-based arts organization and collecting entity with a mission to nourish exchanges among artists, writers, filmmakers, historians, and philosophers. Established in 2002 by Miguel Abreu and Tim Nye as an outgrowth of the Soho-based Thread Waxing Space, which closed its doors in the summer of 2001, the new organization focused on creating a congenial environment for the presentation of art and the debate of ideas. With an intimate exhibition space located in the National Arts Club, at 15 Gramercy Park South, New York, Foundation 20 21 was conceived to become a flexible cultural enterprise capable of quick responses and dedicated to the re-enchantment of art and the nurturing of vision. Foundation 20 21’s publications highlighted some of the most interesting and important art figures of the 20th and 21st centuries. Occasionally, the organization also mounted exhibitions of overlooked or forgotten work from the past in order to bring to light its continuing relevance. Shows of recent acquisitions, unusual publishing projects, artist presentations, lectures, film, and video screenings were a crucial part of the program.
