The David Bermant Collection: Color, Light, Motion

The David Bermant Color, Light, Motion was established in 1986 to encourage and advocate experimental visual art which draws its form, content and working materials from late twentieth-century technology. Founded by David W. Bermant, who began to build in 1965 a collection that has become the pre-eminent private assemblage of work from this genre, the Foundation is devoted to fostering the efforts of artists working with non- traditional materials. These materials include physical sources of energy, light and sound, which are used in works that question and extend the boundaries of the visual arts. Governed by a board consisting of a majority of working professional artists, the Foundation seeks also to cultivate public awareness of and appreciation for the synthesis of fine art and technology by supporting both those artists and institutions involved in the presentation, study, commission, collection or exhibition of such work.
