I have been honored with a large retrospective exhibit here in Florence at the Museo Marino Marini.
I have been able to load this photo of part of the exhibition. If you want more views or a copy of the 90 page catalog just ask me at; julmar@dada.it
September 12th til October 25th 2000
his is a show mainly of work from the past 15 years and will contain
around 60 paintings. The exhibit is curated by Giuliano Serafini and a
text by him will be part of a new catalog documenting work not
reproduced in my prior
catalogs..................................................... If you wish more info or an electronic invitation contact me at; julmar@I am most honored to have the chance to exhibit in this prestigious space, the Museum which is the permanent home of the largest collection of Marino Marini's work. It will be a challenge to present my own work in proximity to one of the most expressive artists of the 20th century.
February 17, 2007 I seem to have not updated this text in a long time and if by any chance anyone wanted to know more about what i have been doing it must have been frustrating!
I am in the process of preparing for 3 exhibits right now, Laussane in March, Oporto in October at the Foundation Arvore and with Julia Pintao at her Galeria Esteta where I will also do a workshop for her etching group. As the years pass the work of preparing for these events is ever more a serious enterprise. One which is part of being an artist yet ever more a burden.
I am also finally close to the publishing of the book of interviews that I gave to Laura Castro and will be published in Italy by Angelo Pontocorboli. When this project is finalized I will announce it here for the possible interest of you who come to visit the site.

As I say below I have started a Series of Digital Impressions of some
of the pictures I will not sell for various reasons. I call the series
Midoff's Maidoffs and will be opening a show in Orvieto December 18th
with a few of the pieces together with the originals. It is a chance
for me to share the images with people for modest prices and makes me
feel more generous, or at least less anal! If you want to have more
info about prices and images write me at julmar@dada.it
Writing as of October 2005.
Just closed the exhibit in San Gimignano and today sent off 19 pictures
to open November 8th in Milano at the Galleria Ciovasso, Corso
Garibaldi 34.
I have put in 2 experimental digital Impressions on Fabriano Paper
which I call "Maidoff's Maidoffs. The idea was suggested to me by the
Photographer Jill Furnakovsky who asked why I refused to sell certain
works. I do want to share them and she convinced me to try these
slightly reduced versions of the originals of which I will print an
editon limited to 10. The first two are "The Embrace" and "Fear of
Flying". They are pictures made in the 1970's and which hang in my
home. Now some others may have these versions which printed with
archivial standards.
In December and in January of 2006 I will be exhibiting in Orvieto at
the Galleria Zerotre.
It was good to know Steven Music of the Galleria Albero Celeste who is
now one of my adopted nephews in art. His creative and generous vision
of the role of the gallersit is a model and indeed a rare one.
