Mission
In the heart of New York City, 1014 brings people together from both sides of the Atlantic to creatively engage with today’s global topics.
History
In 1960, Germany purchased the townhouse on 1014 Fifth Avenue across the Metropolitan Museum of Art from the estate of James W. Gerard, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany until 1917. During the following 50 years, the German government established the Goethe-Institut in the premises. Renowned artists, politicians, and public intellectuals from Germany and the United States such as Hannah Arendt, Willy Brandt, Andy Warhol, and Susan Sontag visited the space. Since 2017, Germany has tasked 1014 to organize trans-Atlantic encounters in this historical location.
Organization
1014 Inc. is an independent U.S. not-for-profit organization founded in 2017 upon the initiative of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut. A Board of Directors and an Advisory Council oversee and guide its operations.
Germany's Commitment
The Federal Republic of Germany strongly believes in the importance of trans-Atlantic cooperation and holistic approaches to foreign policy, including arts and culture. It therefore continues to facilitate trans-Atlantic dialogue and exchange and supports the work of 1014.
