2021 marks the 50th Anniversary of the formation of Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center. ​In 1971, shortly after Edward Hopper's death, a group of volunteers banded together to preserve his childhood home in Nyack, New York. Today the house is a non-profit museum and study center that celebrates Hopper's legacy through artifacts, programs, and exhibitions inspired by America's iconic painter. 
Throughout 2021, we offer exciting, new perspectives on Hopper and his impact on the international art scene through a virtual program of notable Artists and Collaborators. Our year-long celebration is segmented into "FOUR SEASONS" - each exploring a theme relevant to Hopper's legacy with virtual events that invite you to look deeper into the theme.

We are pleased to announce Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, a noted New York preservationist, historian, and author as our Honorary Chairperson of our year-long celebration.

PAST EVENTS: 

WINTER SEASON 

March 11, 5pm EST
Richard Tuschman's HOPPER MEDITATIONS, hosted by Elliott Forrest

Join this very special event to raise money for Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center with world-renowned artist ​Richard Tuschman. In conversation with Peabody award winning host, Elliott Forrest, Mr. Tuschman will share his work from his series of photographs entitled Hopper Meditations, inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper.  To create these works, Tuschman builds dollhouse-sized dioramas, which he then photographs and digitally incorporates life-sized models – including himself – to create realistic scenes reminiscent of Hopper’s imagery.  As in many of Hopper’s well-known paintings, the characters’ in Tuschman’s pictures are imbued with a sense of anticipation, seemingly vacillating between introspection and isolation.

​Carter Foster: What Hopper Saw: Painting and Drawing in New York City, 1930-42, hosted by Elliott Forrest

In conversation with Peabody award winning host, Elliott Forrest, Mr. Foster will delve into Hopper's life at 3 Washington Square. Frequently walking the streets of the City, the New York experiences Hopper had have shaped some of his most celebrated paintings, including Early Sunday Morning, New York Movie, Nighthawks, and Office at Night. Using period photographs and the extensive records Hopper's drawings provide of his creative process, Mr. Foster will look at how the artist's concrete experiences of the city turned into the poetic and haunting paintings that have so captured the popular imagination and continue to fascinate us today.
