She had a show "Lisa Klausner — “Seaside Oddities,' painted photographs at Barbara Gillman Gallery. She was one of Miami Beach’s first gallery owners, the woman who brought Andy Warhol to South Beach and brought Art Basel to Miami Beach. She was involved in artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapping Biscayne Bay islands in hot pink. She loaned art for “Miami Vice.” She dealt with some of the world’s most important contemporary artists, including but not limited to, James Rosenquist, Herman Leonard and Nam June Paik.
Lisa Klausner born in Northeast Ohio, Shaker heights. After college, she lived in South Florida and then New York City, where she worked as a photographer. Her work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine and is in the permanent collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
This is from the Miami Vice period when she lived and worked in Miami Beach, South Beach Art Deco district. “It was a desert,” said Lisa Klausner, 31, a photographer who was one of the first of the deco converts to move to Ocean Drive in 1981. She lived in the Cardozo Hotel along with Woody Vondracek, a mechanic for Eastern Airlines, who drew the original poster for Barbara Capitman to preserve the architectural district.
She was included in the 1986 exhibition The Art of Miami at Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. The Introduction reads: An exhibition of “The Art of Miami” should prove intriguing for SECCA’s visitors. Everyone knows how congenial life is in South Florida. And most might expect to see traces of that in Miami art: some sort of Flamingo/ art Deco regal touch, done with lots of pastel and not too much mind. There will be some surprises. It is true that Miami is America’s tropical city, but that is not what sets it apart. It is a new city – an almost instantly big city – and a demographer’s dream of a city with a singularly rich and energizing mix of cultures and traditions. The artists chosen for this show represent a distillation of that mix, so that twenty-two can stand in for many and delineate the role heritage plays in Miami art. Participating artists include: Carlos Alfonzo, Mario Algaze, Stephen Althouse, Mario Bencomo, Stephen Bird, Maria Brito-Avellana, Philip Brooker, Carol K. Brown, Rosemarie Chiarlone, Angi Curreri, Christine Federighi, Ron Fondaw, Lisa Klausner, Suzanne Kores, Carol S. Levy, Silvia Lizama, Roberta B. Marks, Thomas Minor, Kenny Schneider, Cesar Trasobares, and Sandra Winters.
