Born in Paris, Lolita Cros is an independent curator, advisor and dealer living and working in New York City. She develops emerging talents and pioneers established artists by creating dialogues between the two through conversations and exhibitions. With each project she proposes an alternative venue that asks the viewer to revisit their expectations and look at the work through a new and unique lens.
Cros has exhibited works in various spaces such as a Chinese restaurant, a rooftop, a 26' truck and other venues in NY, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Paris and London to name a few.
In 2016, Cros launched the Salon Series, a series of artist talks she moderated with important figures of the contemporary art world like Duane Michals, Peter Saul, Tina Barney, and Tschabalala Self to name a few.
Between 2017 and 2020, she founded and ran The Salon at The Wing, a permanent exhibition and gallery space within all nine locations of women's club The Wing. Over 180 artists were featured in The Salon including Marilyn Minter, Jenny Holzer and Senga Nengudi among many others. Cros has curated shows for Sotheby's, Brookfield, Paddle8, the New York Academy of Art among others and developed the collection of multiple private and public collections including Chanel, Brookfield, The Wing and more recently the California African American Museum.
