"We essentially have this blank-slate type of space, and we're looking forward to seeing what kind of connections it allows us to make between these artists compared to how the work is received in a domestic setting. The Katonah location yields more opportunities to display large-scale works."
"The GFC is a private lending collection that primarily amplifies living Indigenous artists - including Cara Romero, Marilou Schultz, Ishi Glinsky, and Raven Halfmoon - through acquisitions and fee-free exhibition loans. The collection comprises some 750 works, 260 of which have been exhibited in over 100 shows internationally."
"The forthcoming space in the hamlet of Katonah in Westchester County is a new opportunity to show the collection in a more public-facing way, enabling people to access it on their own time as opposed to the tours."
Laura Phipps, formerly an associate curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, has been appointed director of the Gochman Family Collection (GFC), a private lending organization founded in 2021 by philanthropist Becky Gochman and former gallerist Zach Feuer. The GFC specializes in contemporary Indigenous art, supporting living artists through acquisitions and fee-free exhibition loans. The collection contains approximately 750 works, with 260 exhibited in over 100 international shows. The organization is opening a permanent exhibition space in Katonah, Westchester County, this fall, offering 10,000 square feet of gallery space near the Metro-North train station. This new venue will provide public access to the collection beyond the current tour-based model at the Gochman family's Upper East Side residence, enabling larger-scale artwork displays and new artistic connections.
