Statement
Margot Gotoff, an artist for thirty years, was trained at L'Ecoles des Beaux Arts, Geneva, and received Masters' Degrees in sculpture from the University of Michigan and University of Cincinnati. She now uses cast glass, a medium that allows her to incorporate color and light into her work. The works, always begun in clay, are essentially figurative and composed in ways suggesting both the Classical sculpture she grew up with in Europe and more contemporary psychological insights.
Her sculptures are in public and private collections in Cincinnati, Palm Beach, New York, Chicago, Rome and the Royal Collection in Saudi Arabia. A seven foot sculpture commissioned by Denver is permanently installed at Cherry Creek. She has recently completed a private commission consisting of three portrait heads in glass.
