“The art, dating from the mid-19th through the 21st centuries, includes works by artists from movements associated with New York City like the Ashcan School, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art as well as international artists with a feeling for the city… It is a significant bulwark for the New-York Historical Society’s collection.”

Elie and his wife Sarah Hirschfeld have gifted 130 art works to the institution, significantly broadening the scope of its collection. “Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Gallery, Scenes of New York City,” is the newly dedicated space, which will showcase a rotating selection of the works.
