BARBARA WASSERMAN
COLLECTION
DECEMBER 7 - JANUARY 28
Barbara Wasserman’s formal art education began at the age of nine when she attended Saturday morning classes for children at Pratt University in Brooklyn, New York. She later attended the Program For Gifted Child Artists at Pratt Institute. Before she finished college her work was already being accepted in various juried shows around Manhattan. The first juror to recognize this talented young artist was Milton Avery at the New York Center Gallery.
She then went on to achieve a BA in Art Education at Hofstra University and an MA in Art Education at New York University, as well as an Engraving Certificate at La Esmeralda – Belle Art de Mexico.
She left New York in her twenties to live in Mexico City. She spent almost twenty years there from the late 50’s to the late 70’s, becoming part of the Mexican art scene. Her recognition included being one of the artists in the University of Texas permanent collection entitled “Image of Mexico II.”
Barbara’s work is exhibited locally in both the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art in Florida as well as the Asheville Art Museum in North Carolina. She has also had several gallery shows in the United States and her work was included in a group show at the Jewish museum of Florida in Miami during Art Basel.
