Matvey Levenstein Receives Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation 2022 Biennial Grant
-
Kasmin is pleased to announce that Matvey Levenstein has been named a recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation 2022 Biennial Grant. Unrestricted grants have been awarded to 20 artists working in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, craft, and new media. The purpose of the grants are to give artists the opportunity to produce new work and push the boundaries of their creativity. A full-color catalogue documenting the work of grant recipients will be published this spring.
Established in 1918 by Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of the founder of Tiffany & Company, the Foundation remains one of the largest single sources of monetary grants to artists working in America today. The Foundation–one of the earliest artist-endowed foundations and the first created by an artist during their lifetime– began as a summer residency for artists and craftspeople, at Laurelton Hall, Tiffany’s estate at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Following Tiffany’s death in 1933, the residency program continued until 1946, when the estate was sold, and the Foundation shifted its mission.
In 1980, Angela Westwater, president of the Tiffany Foundation, initiated the biennial competition that continues today. Beginning with the 2022 grant cycle, the Foundation’s programs are administered by the National Academy of Design. The National Academy’s history with the Foundation dates to 1880, when Louis Comfort Tiffany was honored by being elected as a National Academician.

Helena Foster: Time Honoured featured in Plus Magazine
April 18, 2025Walking into Helena Foster’s “Time Honoured” at Kasmin, you’re met with a hush—a sacred quiet that wraps around each painting like breath held in contemplation. Though it marks the first solo show in New York for the London-based painter, Foster’s presence feels neither new nor foreign. Her work carries the gravity of ancestral memory, the lyricism of oral storytelling, and the immediacy of the present. Through her meticulous layering of oil on linen, paper, and vellum, she offers something rare: paintings that speak not in proclamations but in visual whispers—proverbs rendered in earth tones and radiant light. -
