Caio Fonseca was born in New York City in 1959. He comes from an artistic family in which his father, Gonzalo, is a renowned Uruguyan sculptor and his late brother, Bruno was also an accomplished painter. Always having been drawn to art, Fonseca left his formal education at Brown University for an artistic education in Europe. From 1978 to 1983, he studied in Barcelona, Spain under Augusto Torres, where he focused on the study of figurative painting. He then moved to Pietrasanta, Italy in 1985, where he developed his signature abstract style. After spending two years in Paris, France, he moved back to New York City in 1993. His first solo exhibition was that same year in Soho, Manhattan, at the Charles Cowles Gallery, leading to the purchase of two of his paintings by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He now divides his time between his two studios in Pietrasanta and Manhattan. Fonseca’s style is known for its lyricism and abstractness. Inspired by classical music, he often uses bold colors that contrast with an off-white or neutral-colored background. His works have been showcased in exhibitions in every region of the United States as well as various areas of Europe. His art has been acquired by prestigious institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the Modern Museum of Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, and others.

Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings.
From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League.
