Elizabeth Garouste & Marjorie Salvaterra

Marjorie Salvaterra’s images reveal “a fine line between sanity and insanity,” according to Virginia Heckart, Associate Curator of Photography at The Getty Center. Her work, which focuses on women’s many roles in life, has been exhibited extensively in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and children. Salvaterra’s other exhibits include at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Rencontres d’Arles, and the Center for Fine Art Photograph in Fort Collins, CO. She was a runner-up for the 2009 and 2010 Berenice Abbott Price for Emerging Photographers. She joined RALPH PUCCI in 2016.

Elizabeth Garouste was born in Paris in 1949. After her interior design studies at the Camondo School in Paris, she created theater sets for Jean-Michel Ribes before turning to design, which clearly informed her sensibility. In the late 1970s she met Mattia Bonetti and by 1980 the two were collaborating on furniture collections. Garouste and Bonetti quickly became some of the most sought after designers. Their innovative style and whimsical designs have been shown in numerous museums including the Victoria & Albert and Centre Georges Pompidou. She had her first solo exhibition upon joining RALPH PUCCI in 2014.
