The Modern Art Foundry is an historic foundry in Astoria, Queens, New York, founded in 1932 by John Spring. His descendants continue to operate the business[3] in what used to be the carriage house of the Steinway Mansion.[2]

Modern Art Foundry specializes in working with artists who create limited edition works, usually intended for museums and galleries.[4] The foundry utilizes the lost-wax casting method for producing its large-scale work.[3] It also does maintenance and conservation of existing works.[5]
