The Ehud Grably Art Foundation stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, educate, and transform. Established in honour of the visionary Israeli artist Ehud Grably (1961-1994), our foundation is dedicated to preserving Grably's legacy while fostering the next generation of artistic innovators. Our mission is to honour Ehud Grably's artistic vision by promoting his bespoke artwork, supporting emerging artists, and advancing the field of "Ontological Abstraction" in contemporary art. We seek to preserve and promote Grably’s legacy by maintaining and expanding our comprehensive Grably archives, organising traveling exhibitions in various art galleries featuring Grably's work, and publishing scholarly works on his art and artistic philosophy. Our goal is to digitise Grably's entire oeuvre for Global accessibility, and we are excited to showcase his unique pieces. The Ehud Grably Art Foundation is intrinsically tied to the GrablyGlobal Academic arm of our organization, which focuses intensively on educational programs. We will eventually offer workshops and masterclasses inspired by Grably's techniques, develop curriculum materials for schools and universities, and host annual lectures and symposia about the significance of "Ontological Abstraction" as a previously unrecognised late twentieth-century artistic movement. Additionally, we are working to introduce an artist residency program with annual residencies for emerging artists to study Grably's original artworks, fostering mentorship opportunities with established artists and curators, while curating art exhibitions that showcase work produced during these residencies, as well as our fine art reproductions of Ehud Grably's original artworks.
GrablyGlobal is steadfast in its long-term goal of providing research grants and scholarships, funding scholars studying Grably's work and its context, and offering scholarships for promising art students focusing on abstract expressionism and "Ontological Abstraction." Our goals include community outreach programs that offer free art classes for underprivileged youth, partnering with local schools for art education programs, and engaging the wider Global art community through public lectures and gallery talks. Our conservation efforts will establish a state-of-the-art conservation laboratory for Grably's original artworks, provide training programs for art conservators specialising in late twentieth-century art, and research innovative conservation techniques for modern materials. GrablyGlobal’s digital initiatives will include virtual reality experiences of Grably's life and creative process, as well as interactive online platforms for exploring his artworks and a podcast series featuring discussions on his influence on contemporary art. We will also implement an annual Ehud Grably art prize to recognise emerging artists working in the spirit of "Ontological Abstraction," providing the winner with an exhibition opportunity at a prestigious art gallery in London or New York, along with a mentorship program with renowned artists and art curators Globally.
GrablyGlobal is constantly seeking to collaborate with museums and art galleries to facilitate loans of Grably's artworks for major exhibitions, co-curating shows that contextualise Grably within the broader art historical narrative and supporting the acquisition of his work by public institutions. Our publishing program initiatives include producing a definitive first edition Catalogue Raisonné of Grably's work, publishing monographs on various aspects of his art and artistic philosophy, and creating educational materials for different age groups. We will also investigate and invest in sustainability initiatives, implementing eco-friendly practices in all our foundation’s activities, supporting artists who work at the intersection of art and environmental awareness, and developing a "green" artist residency program. Our international exchange programs will facilitate cultural exchanges between Israeli and international artists, organising traveling exhibitions to promote Global understanding through art, and hosting international conferences on abstract art and artistic philosophy.
The Ehud Grably Art Foundation will ultimately be funded through a combination of: (i) proceeds from the sale of limited edition prints and licensed merchandise from our GrablyGlobal Luxury Lifestyle Brand; (ii) a percentage of sales from GrablyGlobal's other commercial ventures, including couture, interior design, and hospitality offerings; (iii) donations from art patrons and corporate sponsors; and (iv) grants from cultural institutions. GrablyGlobal is committed to complete financial transparency and will publish annual reports detailing our income, expenditures, and the impact of our programs.
