…collections of paintings

Geri Taper (1929–2004)

A renowned painter and environmental artist who lived and worked in New York City for thirty years, often using the city itself as her canvas.

Geri dazzled audiences in the United States and Europe with her abstract paintings, luminous renderings of flowers and trees, mixed-media work in bronze, aluminum and other metals, industrial sculptures and enamels. Her pieces are now part of wide-ranging collections and displays at such places as the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), Citibank, the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance and Mt. Sinai Hospital.

Geri’s artistic philosophy “I believe we see not with our eyes, but with our vision” led her to a remarkably productive career until she passed away in 2004.
