Kurt Seligmann Center

The Seligmann Center is located about 50 miles northwest of New York City in a vibrant rural area of Orange County, in the hamlet of Sugar Loaf. Once home to Kurt and Arlette Seligmann, the history of the site is palpable – Max Ernst slept in the guest house; Marcel Duchamp shot five bullets into the barn foundation; Alexander Calder pulled prints from the very same press that is still in use today; others, including Yves Tanguy, Kay Sage, Peggy Guggenheim, and Meyer Schapiro, all spent time on the property. The Center is home to two galleries/performance/event spaces, housed in the homestead’s converted farmstead buildings.

The Seligmann Center’s Permanent Collection features over 110 prints and 20 paintings by Kurt Seligmann, as well as an archive of countless photographs, letters, ephemera and personal effects
