About the Artist:
Gloria Vanderbilt was born in 1924 in New York City. When her father, Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, the railroad mogul, died, she inherited a large sum of money, which her mother controlled. However, after some time, her Aunt Gertrude determined that she needed to extract the child from an unfortunate parental situation and filed a petition with the court for custody. What followed is still considered one of the most scandalous trials where shocking evidence was made public. Gloria's mother lost custody.
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was a patron of the arts and was instrumental in inspiring the young Gloria to pursue her artistic interests. After returning from a boarding school, Gloria enrolled in the Art Students League of New York. During the 50s and 60s, she started studying acting at Neighborhood Playhouse, where she appeared in several plays and performed on Broadway and several television shows.
In 1948 the public saw for the first time Gloria Vanderbilt's art at the solo exhibition in New York, where she showcased numerous works, including watercolor and oil paintings. In 1968 one of her artworks was licensed by Hallmark Cards and by Bloomcraft, and the artist started designing glassware, pottery, and linen. One of hew most renowned works is the painting Truman (1956), a portrait of the famous writer Truman Capote.
For a time, Gloria abandoned painting, and it seemed for a time that she would not be creating anything new. However, in 2001 she made a comeback with a successful solo exhibition titled Dream Boxes at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester. In 2007 the artist exhibited 35 paintings at the Arts Center.
Based on her paintings Gloria often created collages and textile designs. In 2012 she revealed another gem, a painting entitled 60 Washington Mews (2012), which depicted her aunt's living room in Greenwich Village. Later in life, she began painting abstract works inspired by dreams.

Gloria Vanderbilt
Gloria Vanderbilt was a fashion designer, socialite, author and heiress to part of the Vanderbilt fortune. She was born on February 20, 1924, in Manhattan. The Vanderbilts were dubbed American Royalty in the Gilded Age who had more money in 1877 than the U.S. Treasury. By the mid-1900s most of the fortune had dissipated, but the family remained in the spotlight as social figures. Vanderbilt was best remembered for her own iconic fashion ventures, founded on designer jeans. After her father passed away, she and her widowed mother lived off of interest payments from her trust fund. Gloria Laura Vanderbilt died on June 17, 2019, in Manhattan.
