THE FINE ARTS WORK CENTER REMEMBERS ARTIST AND TEACHER SELINA TRIEFF

SELINA TRIEFF was a master painter who inspired her audience for over fifty years. She first came to Provincetown to study with Hans Hofmann, then lived in New York while raising her family before moving to Wellfleet year round. Called “an American original” by New York Times art critic John Russell, Trieff’s work combines allusively gripping figurative compositions, abstract images in oil and gold leaf.

Trieff, with her husband Bob Henry, was a long-time and beloved Summer Program faculty member. She also participated in the Monoprint Project since its inception. In 2012, she was the celebrated and featured artist in the Work Center’s Annual Auction.

Trieff graduated from Brooklyn College where she studied with Ad Reinhardt and Mark Rothko. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and in Europe, and is included in such public collections as the Brooklyn Museum, Kalamazoo Art Institute, Bayonne Jewish Center, Snite Center at Notre Dame, Citibank, New York Public Library, Best Products, and Provincetown Art Association and Museum. She is represented in New York by the George Billis Gallery and the Ruth Bachofner Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. Trieff was the subject of a major exhibition at the Long Beach Museum of Art in California and received a catalog grant for that exhibition from the Richard Florsheim Art Foundation. She has been represented by Berta Walker for over 20 years, ever since Walker presented Trieff in her first one-person exhibition at Graham Modern Gallery in New York in 1985.

Trieff’s amazing spirit, energy, and humor will be sorely missed by not only the Work Center community, but also the many people whose lives she touched and inspired throughout the art world.
