Heritage Brazil Gallery
87 Powell Avenue
Southampton, NY
Heritage Brazil would like to cordially invite you for a night of art featuring works by Marcia Grostein.
Marcia Grostein is a Brazilian-American artist whose practice works across public art, sculpture, painting, video, photography, and portable art/jewelry. Her Brighton Beach Bliss beachgoer portraits are a testament of harmonious coexistence between diverse populations. In this series, perfection is not defined by a single perfectly-proportioned body; rather, Grostein asks us to find beauty that can be found in the human gaze, and in a mutual desire to act together within natural and built environments.
Since 1977, the Hamptons have been a big part of Grostein’s life. On her first visit to the East End, she met artist Willem de Kooning, who became a mentor. At the same time, she met artist James Rosenquist, whom she often visited in East Hampton. In 1984, she married artist Malcolm Morley and they lived in Watermill. Pieces from her prolific body of work are held in prominent public and private collections including MOMA/PS1, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MASP (São Paulo Museum of Art,) MAM (Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro,) among others.
