Talk:Marcia Grostein

Note

You need to add a lot more to the biography section. She is featured in several books, so summarize her life story. Don't forget to include the movements that inspired her (and make hyperlinks to those movements) and add the people/other artists with whom she worked. Provide a few more lines under each artwork to state the intent or meaning (not just the form) of the works. And finally, you will need to remove almost all the citations directly from her website. You can only use third party references, not the artist's own site. -Prof. S

Marcia is the daughter of Jewish emigrants to Brazil. Her mother came from Russia and her father from Poland. Family lore has it that a paternal ancestor was one of Napoleon's financiers. But the turmoil of Europe drove both sides of Marcia's family to South America. Marcia's extended family is spread throughout southern Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Her own family settled in Sao Paulo, where her father opened a jewelry store. Her mother saw to it that Marcia received a good education, steeped in European culture. Marcia was a ballet dancer prior to being an artist and her work is deeply influenced by her time as a dancer. She was frequently taken to see an aunt, Mary Kuperman, who was an artist. Marcia's first experience with art came from spending hours copying portraits of Modigliani's neck with her aunt. Later on, one could see that influence on her sculptures. [1] She has been mentored by many great artists who have helped her portray her work. Deeply influenced by Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimal and Conceptual Art, she had her first encounter with Willem de Kooning while visiting NY in 1977, who became a mentor and, together with James Rosenquist, introduced her to the NY art scene. Her first exhibition in NY took place at the Suydam Gallery with a text written by de Kooning. [1] In 1979, she interned for Fluxus artist Joseph Beuys and worked at his retrospective held at the Guggenheim Museum in NY. The following year, Grostein was represented by Betty Parsons Gallery, and her paintings were exhibited together with Jackson Pollock’s works in the gallery’s final show. Continuing to show her work in galleries and museums in different continents. She exhibited her functional sculptures/lamps at Paul Kasmin Gallery/PK Shop in 2014, after she participated in the exhibition “Moss: Dialogues between Art & Design” at Phillips de Pury, where her chair sculptures were paired with Bob Wilson’s chairs in 2012. This exhibition crystallized Grostein’s fascination with design which quickly inspired her to begin incorporating her sculptures into lighting fixtures. Pieces of her prolific body of work are held in prominent private collections and renowned international institutions such as: MOMA/PS1, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, MASP - São Paulo Museum of Art, MAM - Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo among others. “Marcia Grostein.” Marcia Grostein, www.marciagrostein.com/. Marcia Grostein's personal history was marked by loss, rejection and violence, resulting in constant and great privation, as well as the struggles and conquest of self assertion, with all the ups and downs which this moving energy of the instincts of life imply. This is patent in each of her works, where there is no waiting, silence or rest, where taste encounters plenitude but where joy is continuous. There the creative libido overcomes anxiety and generosity fills in the empty spaces of anxiety. As if the array of image, colors and forms could compensate or neutralize the fear of nothing. As if the inventive configuration of its spectacle had the magic power of real action on things as it did for the cave man at Lascaux. “Marcia Grostein: The Wild Form; 20 Years' Survey.” by Sheila Leirner et al., Museu De Arte De São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, 1994.
