Alla Efimova founded KunstWorks in 2014 to address the growing need among contemporary artists, their heirs, and collectors for finding permanent repositories for historically important works overlooked by the marketplace. Thanks to KunstWorks artworks by, among others, brilliant older women, by young men who had perished in the AIDS epidemic, and by African-American quilters found homes in the major museums around the country, including SFMOMA, LACMA, BAM/PFA, Tacoma Art Museum, and the de Young.
In 2015 Alla Efimova and Terri Cohn founded the American Artists Legacy Project, a non-profit project dedicated to advancing the legacies of underrepresented artists through grant-supported publications and exhibitions.
