    The Coalition for the Homeless has partnered with 50 artists and estates to produce a series of limited-edition artist plates, including Lee Krasner's Sundial (1972). All of the funds raised by the sale of plates will provide food, crisis services, housing and other critical aid to thousands of people experiencing homelessness and instability. A recent study out of Columbia University estimates that homelessness is likely to increase by 40-45% in the year ahead as a result of the pandemic. The purchase of just one plate can feed 75 homeless and hungry New Yorkers.

    Each plate comes in an edition of 175, priced individually at $175.

  • About the Artist

    Lee Krasner

    Lee Krasner

    A pioneer among the first generation of Abstract Expressionism, Lee Krasner developed novel approaches to painting and collage for over half a century, demonstrating an endless drive for experimentation and reinvention. Widely recognized as a central protagonist among a cohort of artists that define postwar American painting, Krasner was subject to a critically-acclaimed major touring European institutional retrospective organized by the Barbican Art Gallery in 2019–21, followed by a solo exhibition at the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum in 2023. She was subject to two touring US institutional retrospectives in 1984–85 and 1999–2001. Her work is held in premier institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among many others.
