ABOUT

The mysterious work of visionary artist Virgil Grotfeldt (1948-2009) explores the bonds that connect us all.  The works and materials from his career reflect an intimate exploration of the emotional, physical and metaphysical states of transition between body and spirit, illness and healing, peace and process. Grotfeldt´s work was widely exhibited in the United States, Europe, and China and collected by prestigious museums including the Upriver Collection (Chengdu, China), the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Menil Collection, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Stedelijk Museum in the Netherlands. His deeply personal images continue to resonate with audiences as his legacy grows under the stewardship of the Virgil Grotfeldt Estate.
