Glenn Goldberg (b. 1953) was born in the Bronx, works in Brooklyn, and lives in Manhattan. Goldberg often utilizes a grisaille palette to create eclectic pieces with intricate detail. Mistakes and flaws play a key role in Goldberg’s work. His sources of inspiration include tapestries, ancient calligraphy, and decorative rugs. Goldberg’s pieces deliberately lack narrative context to enable the viewer to discover the themes he chooses to include.
Goldberg is an artist and musician. He attended James Monroe High School and received his MFA from Queens College CUNY. Goldberg has shown his work since the mid-80’s in the US, Europe, and Central America. His first one-person exhibition was at Willard Gallery, NY, and his last two solo shows were also in NY, at the Jason McCoy Gallery and the Betty Cunningham Gallery. Goldberg’s work is in numerous museum collections, such as the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. He is a Guggenheim Fellow and a Professor at The Cooper Union and Queens College CUNY.
