Only one more week until the Francis J. Greenburger Awards! This year we are honoring Ralph Lemon, John Newman, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Jennifer Bartlett, and Johannes Giardoni!

Learn more on the Art Omi website! 

Five under-recognized artists of extraordinary merit are recognized in this bi-annual event at the New Museum. Presented by Art Omi, the Francis J. Greenburger Award is an unrestricted $12,500 prize that honors established artists whom the art world knows to be of extraordinary merit but who have not been fully recognized by the public. Francis J. Greenburger, the Founder and Chairman of Art Omi, has invited a renowned artist, gallerist, writer, museum professional and collector to each select one recipient whom they believe to fulfill the mission of the award. Mr. Greenburger established the awards in 1986 after a conversation with his friends, André Emmerich and Clement Greenberg during which André said, “The best and brightest artist of each generation are known, but not to everyone. Ask the inner circle and they can tell you.” This statement is the inspiration and founding principle of the Francis J. Greenburger Awards.
