Brigitte Bardot for Museum Masters
We are proud to announce the new partnership between Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Goldberg of Museum Masters. Sid Maurer's Endangered Species Collection will also be exhibited to highlight Bardot's lifelong crusade against animal cruelty.
The Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) will be the major beneficiary of revenue generated from sales of merchandise, prints, paintings and a portfolio of Brigitte created by master artist Sid Maurer and renowned photographers. MMI, with international credentials in art marketing and licensing from Warhol to Haring to Picasso, to name but a few, will publish and distribute the collection.
From her beginnings as the seminal "sex kitten" Brigitte Bardot went on to great acclaim, conquering the world of the flesh with a pout, a cute accent and a physique that drove men wild. Victorious in that world, Mme. Bardot has turned to the spiritual realm of loving and caring for the earth and its endangered species', perhaps her greatest role yet.

THE FINE ART INTERVIEW
Marilyn Goldberg
By JAMIE ELLIN FORBES
Marilyn Goldberg’s father was a physician; a European
immigrant speaking several languages — Polish, French, German Russian — who arrived in America with his wife Georgette from Paris in the 1940’s. He had a very personal vision of America, an eye for beauty and a wife he adored who resembled the great American beauty Marilyn Monroe. So when his daughter was born, naming her was easy: M-A-R-I-L-Y-N.
Ms. Goldberg has taken that gift — her first experience with branding — and her life honors her parents and the great Norma Jean yet carves out a place in the history of humanity that is particularly and uniquely her own. It isn’t that being a successful art publisher, merchandiser, and creative home designer, creator of legendary art programs for the likes of John Lennon, Picasso, Erté, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Tamara de Lempicka and enough others that to list them and note their accomplishments would fill many books, it is that Marilyn Goldberg employs her love of life, of imagination, of beauty into a potent elixir that we have come to call “The Creative Life.” |
|
Living in this spirit is a full time experience for Ms. Goldberg, not an occupation. It is like breathing for her. Just as there is no peer or equal to the Icon status of Marilyn Monroe, in her field, which is her life, there is none who compares to Marilyn Goldberg. Her impact and vision as it pertains to her career in Art, Museum Exhibitions and Hampton Home Renovations, BRANDING from Mercedes, to Spiderman, to Campbell's Soup, to Marilyn Monroe's new MM Brand Logo; her newest series of MaraGold TV Animation, her style and her trademark,copyrighting, and licensing expertise world since the beginning of her career, have caused for international products she has developed and manufactured pertaining to the great artists, celebrates, and characters she has represented, and pioneered are unprecedented.
“She is the greatest promoter, and an excellent companion
creatively,” says Giancarlo Impiglia, the Italian Futurist who, before
Absolut made him a household name, had many publications done
by Ms. Goldberg with great regognition given him when she closed
with The Metropolitan Opera for a limited series in the 1980’s. He
also created a series of silkscreen prints and posters for Marigold
that were literally everywhere; starting with her shows for him at
her Southampton gallery named for her son Garett and run by her
two sons Garett and Darren Goldberg who beamed with pride at
being “in business” as youngsters.
In 1985, when Artexpo was a the biggest show in town, people
lined up at the doors of the old New York Coliseum and when they
opened, many made a beeline for the Marigold Enterprises booth.
Her art and art-related merchandise literally sold out moments after
the show opened. People built careers and art galleries based on
her intuitive ideas and plethora of creative merchandise. Marigold
Enterprises, with Ms. Goldberg as founder and president, was a
burgeoning-firm with seemingly limitless projects involving the
marketing of art in varied media. She built an industry and lifestyle
from art that was the treasured gift of any home, from her porcelains
made in Germany to her carpets and tapestries from Denmark.
She is a reservoir of artistic ideas and when you talk with her.
the enthusiasm she generates for art, artists and her projects is more
than contagious — it is powerful. Yet with all the push and hype
necessarily surrounding a business that will take a Picasso painting
and exquisitely reproduce it with hand drawn border designs on
a scarf or tie pattern to be sold from Bloomingdales to Henry
Bendels, there is an even more intense feeling one gets from Marilyn
Goldberg: a positiveness detected in her genuine love and admiration
of good art and good artists. |

Lempicka News:
One of MMI’s long-term projects has been the development
and growth of the public’s awareness of Art Deco Icon Tamara
de Lempicka, on behalf of the Estate. Lempicka’s
visionary artwork epitomizes the decadence and glamour of Paris
in the 1920s and 30s.
 MMI collaborated with London’s Royal Academy, during the spring of 2004 to
organize the first major Lempicka retrospective in the UK. Her
elegant and extravagant lifestyle was documented in its totality
by this stunning exhibit which featured 55 works loaned from
various galleries and private collectors.
MMI represents and honors Victoria de Lempicka,
granddaughter of Tamara, and made all necessary arrangements
for European press and media to interview Victoria, who arrived
in London to open the exhibition on May 18, 2004. Eleven years
of work went into preparing the details that formed the possibility
of this great event! Marilyn Goldberg, President of MMI, and
Jason LeBlond, Creative Director, were noted in the Royal Academy’s
catalogue raisonné for their excellence in set-up of
exhibition needs.
MMI developed all the merchandise for the RA’s gift shop,
which included a high quality stationery line of calendars,
agendas, notebooks, greeting cards, bookmarks and posters by LEM Art
Group of Milano, Italy. RA, under official license through MMI,
also featured an exhibition catalogue, postcard book, refrigerator
magnets, exhibition poster, fashion tops & knickers sets,
tote bags and a music cd with tunes from the Art Deco era. In
Tamara “larger then life” fashion, an enormous banner
utilizing a dramatic photo of Tamara circa 1938, provided by
MMI, was displayed outside the exhibition entrance. (Pictured
Below.) The retrospective next completed a successful run at The Kunstforum Museum, Vienna in September
of 2004.
Further enhancing the nouveau boom of Art Deco was a separate
exhibition celebrating the entire Art Deco époque, which
traveled from London’s V & A to San
Francisco’s Legion of Honour and finally MFA, Boston. Tamara’s “Jeune Fille en Vert
(Girl in Green)” was the enticing cover girl for all promotional
materials for this exhibition. The assorted exhibitions stimulated
a myriad of new licensing venues for this incredible painter
and incredible woman, who was so ahead of her times!
In May of 2004 Tamara’s “Portrait of Mrs. Bush”
set an auction record, hammering in at $4.5 million dollars! |

Colorful cows warm up Madrid’s cold winter!
MMI welcomes in 2009 with CowParade Madrid open January 16th, 2009.
Herds of fiberglass hand-painted cows enter the gates of Madrid in January as part of CowParade, a fantastic colorful street art exhibition. Each bovine statue is decorated by a different designer, using fine art and humor, then strategically placed somewhere in the Salamanca, Retiro or Central districts of the capital.

There is much enthusiasm in Madrid, which welcomes visitors worldwode. In addition all of the TV news broadcasts have been promoting the great Madrid event!
