Eduardo Costa

Eduardo Costa is known as an early conceptualist who in late 1960's was part of the New York City group of artists that included Scott Burton, Vito Acconci, Marjorie Strider, Dan Grahm, among others. "Fassion Fiction" his series of interventions in media, appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar between 1966, and 1984.

Art Critic, Carter Ratcliffe, wrote about Costa's work stating, "Costa is a conceptual painter - or, if you like, a painterly conceptionalist... " "... Costa is a painter of ferocious delicacy."

Costa employs the African tradition in the same way he utilizes the traditions of the European, North American, and South American avant gardes to which his work is equally indebted. Costa's new series, stimultaneously melds not only the traditions of the different regions of the globe, but also the past and the new as yet completly uncharted cultural possibilities of what will certainly be an unprecedentedly global 21st century.
