Gillespie Foundation: \nThe Dorothy Gillespie Foundation proudly presents the works and history of the 20th century American Artist\, Dorothy Gillespie\, which included abstract expressionism\, decorative abstraction\, site-specific installations\, the women’s movement and art in public spaces. She was a pioneer in the new directions of metal sculpture and best known for large-scale\, highly colorful painted arrangements of cut aluminum strips radiating\, undulating\, or curling in giant arrangements of ribbon\, enchanted towers\, and even the burst of fireworks piece: well known as a painter\, sculptor and installation artist whose work incorporated many significant 20th-century trends in art. \nDorothy Gillespie’s career spanned seven decades\, and was always in the forefront of the American Art movement.  Ms. Gillespies works have graced and still grace many institutions\, museums\, colleges\, universities and public places.  She was one of the first artists to offer her art to the world through displays in the lobbies of public institutions and governmental centers such as Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts. The Foundation supports artists\, initiatives\, and institutions that embody the same innovative\, inclusive multidisciplinary approach that Dorothy Gillespie exemplified in both her art and philanthropic endeavors.
