"Born in Buenos Aires in 1936, Gloria Priotti studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Manuel Belgrano, graduating in 1959. She received the Beca Durero from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes and the German Academy for Cultural Exchange in 1975, after which she moved to Berlin, where she remained until 1983 and developed an intensive body of work in wood sculpture. She was invited by the Berlin Senate to participate in official competitions for the Applied Arts in Architecture. She exhibited in Argentina and abroad, and contributed to the renovation plans for the Technical University of Berlin in 1979. She held solo exhibitions at Galerías Lirolay, Carmen Waugh, Aldo de Sousa, Álvaro Castagnino, Atica, del Retiro and Atica, the Departamento de Artes de la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Art Gallery International de Buenos Aires, Gallerie Pohl in Berlin, Neue Galerie in Bochum (Germany), Kwarz Gruppe Galerie in Berlin, the Universidad Nacional de Concepción del Uruguay, and ArteBa, and participated in group exhibitions in Argentina and Germany. She received many prizes in salons in Argentina and abroad, including a competition to create a mural relief for a pedestrian tunnel in the Tempelhof district of Berlin in 1978; a prize for her bronze sculpture installed in the Berlin Sculpture Park in 1979; and a prize for her stainless steel, aluminum, and iron sculpture installed in a technical school in Berlin in 1981. She was awarded Second Prize in the Juril Clinic and Center for Art and Communication competition in 1988, and First Prize in Sculpture at the Entre Ríos Salon in 1991. Her work is associated with magical realism. Her figurative sculpture incorporates playful elements and fragments of the human figure, not always executed in the same material.
