About Emily Kreis Harvey (1941-2004).


Emily Kreis Harvey
Henry Flynt: Portraits of Women (1989/1991)

Emily Kreis Harvey was a New York gallerist known for her support of the international avant-garde community. She divided her time between New York and Venice, Italy, where she made her home. She loved Venice, and wanted others to share in her experience of this ancient and unique Italian city. She loved art and artists, and creative people of all types, and particularly wanted to support mature artists with her residencies, since there were so few facilities specifically for them. She died in Venice in 2004.
