Lule Seltzer

Lule Seltzer was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She began her art education in the late 1970s in Tel Aviv, Israel where she studied at the universities Camera Obscura and Avni School of Art. Lule continued to study in the United States at the Art School in Demerest with Carol Stronghilos, and obtained her BFA from Empire State College.

During the 1980s, Lule participated in numerous art exhibitions and won various awards. In 1990, Lule was invited by the artist Wong Keen to show her work in his Soho gallery. Scott A. Broadfoot of Broadfoot and Broadfoot art gallery discovered her work in 1991, and showed her work for the following twenty-three years. The gallery featured a collection called ‘Floresta,’ named after her childhood neighborhood in Buenos Aires. In this collection, Lule explored images of windows, walls and doors. Her 2010 show ‘Pulso’, or Pulse, documented expansion and contraction, stability and palpitation, motion and stagnancy: the fundamentals of awareness.

This show was followed up with wildly successful shows in 2013 and 2014, ‘Reperacions’ and ‘Mantel y Madera’. Both these shows sold out.

Her work was largely influenced by abstract expressionism and the New York new school of art of the 1950s. Broadfoot and Broadfoot gallery has sold nearly her entire body of work.
