The Collection

The Professor

Greenwich Living Antique & Design Center was selected to acquire the estate of the late Ann Pollon. Ms. Pollon was the daughter of world-renowned conceptual artist Ursula Meyer. Ursula Meyer passed in 2003 after dedicating her life to the arts. Meyer had a number of successful solo exhibitions at various galleries throughout the 60's, including the Amel Gallery, Sachs Gallery, and The Smithsonian. None of her work has previously been available to the public. In conducting our research, we tapped museum curator and art historian James Archer Abbott to write an in depth account of the artists' work.
