History is finally catching up to include women artists. Luise Kaish was both a recognized sculpture and leader in the field. Her work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney and the Jewish Museum. She held the honored post as the Department Chair of Columbia University's School of the Arts when being a female leader was rare.  Christy is advising the family to establish a Center for Luise at Syracuse; launch a new scholarly publication; and identify a key partner for her archives.
