Richard Kramlich is co-founder of New Enterprise Associates and Green Bay Ventures, and CEO of Kramlich Investment Group. He was the first outside equity investor in Apple, and, in his role as a director at New Enterprise Associates, led eleven startup companies to valuations exceeding $1 billion each. Based in San Francisco and Napa, the Kramlich Collection boasts more than 150 film and video installation artworks from the mid-1960s to the present. It includes major installations by artists such as Doug Aitken, Matthew Barney, Dara Birnbaum, Janet Cardiff, James Coleman, Stan Douglas, Joan Jonas, Isaac Julien, William Kentridge, Pierre Huyghe, Steve McQueen, Shirin Neshat, and Bill Viola. In 1997, the Kramlichs established the New Art Trust, a non-profit to advance the field of media art in the areas of installation and conservation at SFMOMA in San Fransisco, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate in London. Matters in Media Art (www.mattersinmediaart.org) was an early initiative. In the last two decades, over thirty major artworks have been acquired and donated by the Kramlichs to the New Art Trust to benefit the three institutions. |
