Trinity Chapel, New York University

Holy Trinity Chapel of New York University was NYU's former Generoso Pope Catholic Center and Catholic chapel, located at 58 Washington Square South, West Village, Manhattan, New York. It was built 1961–1964 and was a prominent example of the Brutalist architectural style, executed in reinforced concrete and modernist stained glass. It was designed by the noted American architectural firm of Eggers & Higgins.The chapel occupied highly desirable land on Washington Square, and a decision was made to close the chapel and redirect Catholic Center services to a nearby parish, the Church of St. Joseph on Sixth Avenue at Washington Place. It was briefly rented to Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church when that congregation left its 1860 church in 2004 and before the community joined with 2 others elsewhere as The Church of the Village.The New York Times reported that it was sold in early 2009 for $25 million for redevelopment to the university. "The fate of the chapel has created little stir, perhaps because many residents aren't very fond of its looks. Built in the 1960s, the chapel incorporates elements of Brutalist architecture, known for its liberal use of concrete.... 'It’s not terribly pleasing to the eye,' said Brad Hoylman, chairman of Community Board 2, which includes Washington Square Park. He added, however, that there was at least some anxiety about what may replace it."The AIA Guide to NYC (2010) described the chapel as "awkward Modernism from a time when the search for form preoccupied American architects." The building was demolished in 2009.

Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation
Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation

The Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1989 dedicated to the study of modern American sculptor Chaim Gross (1902–91), his contemporaries, and the history of 20th-century American art. It is located in the sculptor's four-story historic home on LaGuardia Place in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood and is open to the public. In addition to the artist's sculpture and drawings, it also exhibits important works of American, European, Pre-Columbian and African art that the artist collected. In 2015, the Foundation won a Village Award from the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation for its contributions as a resource to the downtown community. The townhouse was built in the 1830s and was converted to an industrial loft in the 1880s. The Gross family converted it into a residential space when they purchased the building in 1963. The first floor is the artist's sculpture studio, featuring a dramatic skylight and an array of tools and materials related to the process of direct carving, which Gross pioneered in America in the late 1920s. Adjacent to the studio is a permanent installation of Gross' sculpture from the 1920s through the 1980s. The second floor features changing exhibits exploring themes in modern American art; past exhibits have examined the photography of sculpture, American surrealism, and direct carving. The Foundation also hosts related programs including artist's talks and poetry readings, as well as joint programs with the SoHo Arts Network, a consortium of downtown arts non-profits founded in 2015. The third floor is the family's living and dining space which remains as it was during the artist's lifetime, featuring a Salon-style installation by Gross of his wide-ranging collection. All three floors are open to the public during regular gallery hours or by appointment. The building and collections are actively used by students and artists studying at the New York Studio School, New York University, CUNY Staten Island, and a number of other schools.
