Max Steven Grossman was born in Barranquilla, Colombia in 1971.
He originally studied engineering and graduated from the University of Philadelphia in 1994. Soon after he discovered his passion in life for photography. In 2000, Max Steven graduated from New York University and the International Center of Photography with a Master of Arts specializing in photography. The two diverse studies of engineering and the arts have helped to mold the creative photography of Grossman into a study of reality and imagination. Max Steven Grossman photographs have been exhibited around the world including Beatriz Esguerra art in Bogota, Colombia, Museum of Modern Art in Cartagena, Colombia, Museum of Modern Art in Barranquilla, Colombia, Art Wynwood in Miami. Art Southampton in Long Island, NY., ArteBA in Buenos Aires,Argentina, AAF Hong Kong. He has also exhibited extensively in Fairs and Foundations internationally such as Switzerland, Panama, Hong Kong and Spain to name a few.
The emergence of virtual, digital worlds has affected almost every aspect of contemporary life. These « Bookscapes » question these transformations. Printed large enough to pass as an actual library, these images point to the gradual loss of paper books, especially those that inhabited homes and fostered learning, dreaming, escaping. Grossman turns these libraries into commodities of the art world, that can be purchased according to themes: art, film, music, fashion… The books in every image have never quite been placed in that way except in the virtual space of his computer. Grossman photographs some of the books in bookstores he visits. He builds his own collections with photos that come from different places.
