Marinoff is a critically acclaimed painterwith over 100 exhibitions. In New York City her artwork was represented by Allen Sheppard and Andre Zarre galleries, and the Galerie Woeller-Paquet and das Bilderhaus in Frankfurt, Germany. She was adjunct professor of art at the University of California, Los Angeles from 1985 to 1988 and served on the board of directors of the Fine Arts Federation of New York City from 2002 to 2012.
Elaine Marinoff was an accomplished artist, but more than anything, it is her life that speaks the loudest. Refusing to be subjugated by the oppressive forces that bound most middle-class housewives of the 1960s and 70s, she fearlessly illuminated her deeper self, illustrating the profound desires of women everywhere. Critics, including Donald Kuspit and Robert Morgan, described her as “someone capable of transforming what she sees into a cataclysmic sense of reality.”
Marinoff was not just a boundary-breaking artist; she was a passionate lover of life as well as of CBGB Club’s founder Hilly Kristal, three children, and four grandchildren. Her artwork is cherished by hundreds of international collectors. In Treasures, she confronts social and artistic constraints of the time and shares her insights with unflinching candor.
