Chelsea Art Museum

The Chelsea Art Museum (CAM) was a

Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The museum focused on post-war European art.[1]

The museum was in a 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) renovated historic building, which was also the location of the Miotte Foundation, which was committed to archiving and protecting the works of

Abstract Expressionist artists from Europe and the United States, including Pol Bury, Mimmo Rotella, and Jean-Paul Riopelle.[2]

The museum and shop closed by December 31, 2011. The closing followed lengthy financial difficulties and the possible loss of its charter,[3] which eventually led to the sale of the building.[4][5]
