Russian-born, Benjamin Kopman studied at the National Academy of Design in New York and exhibited with success throughout the United States, including at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Corcoran Gallery and the Art Institute of Chicago. He was a member of the Allied Artists of America, the American Artists Congress and the Artists Equity Association. He worked for the Works Project Administration and was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards. Kopman’s work is held in the permanent collections of museums throughout the United States, including the Carnegie Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Brooklyn Museum, among others.
