Ray Eames

Art Brokerage: Ray Eames American Artist: b. 1912-1988. Ray-Bernice Alexandra Kaiser Eames was an American artist and designer who worked in a variety of media. In the 1930s, Kaiser's artistic career centered around her painting. In 1936, Kaiser became a founding member of the American Abstract Artists (AAA) group and displayed paintings in their first show in 1937 at Riverside Museum in Manhattan. The AAA group promoted abstract art at a time when major galleries refused to show it. She was a key figure in the New York art scene at that time and was friends with Lee Krasner and Mercedes Matter, who were important figures in abstract expressionism. Kaiser has a painting in the permanent collection of The Whitney Museum of American Art. Little remains of her art from this period as it was lost. Listings wanted.
