ABOUT THE BOBBY ANSPACH STUDIOS FOUNDATION
“Bobby Anspach Studios Foundation was founded not only to promote and sustain Bobby’s work, but also the contingent issues around it.
Bobby was incredibly concerned with the climatic apocalypse and thought that he could save the world one mind at a time by promoting well being, sense of wellness, and self. Our job is to maintain that legacy and advance that cause.”
-Saul Ostrow, independent art curator and critic, and consultant to BAS Foundation
The Bobby Anspach Studios Foundation (BASFoundation) is a not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to preserving and providing access to the work of Bobby Anspach, who built sound and light sculptures with, on the one hand, the ambitious aim of preventing the world from destroying itself and, on the other hand, the more modest aim of providing individuals with singular aesthetic experiences. Continuing Bobby’s mission, the foundation grounds itself in the same principle that fueled Bobby’s work: a conviction regarding the power of meditation and art. Alongside continuing to preserve and share Bobby’s work, the foundation engages and supports artistic and mindfulness programming, as well as artists, educators, and meditation practitioners, all with the aim of offering people the opportunity to encounter and express something singular in their human experience.
The Bobby Anspach Studios Foundation is led by a board of directors from across the art, wellness, and mental health spheres, including Adam Adelson, Executive Director of Adelson Galleries, Paula Baldoni, Director of River House Arts, Jimmy Avari, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College, as well as members of the Anspach family.
