HISTORY
Founded in 1982 by Andy Warhol
and other influential artists,
collectors and patrons, the New
York Academy of Art trains talented,
emerging artists in traditional skills
that serve as powerful tools in the
creation of vital contemporary art.
It is the first and most significant
graduate school in the United States
to focus on the human body.
