"... CUBA; The Special Period provides a rich documentary portrait of the Cuban people and the way they live their lives."
AB Bookman's Weekly
"... In an eloquent way, Marcia Friedman has managed to bear witness o the Cuban panorama because she handles photography with an aesthetic sense and impeccable functionality, to which she adds a literary visibility."
Ena Curnow
Diario Las Américas
,"... Rauschenberg's creations suffered from a disconnection from reality... Friedman's work raises the curtains that conceal what lies hidden in the everyday challenges faced by Cubans. In its pages, North American photography enthusiasts will find the answers to many questions raised by this tragic period within the last bastion of orthodox communism in the western hemisphere."

Some of her better-known corporate clients such as Wynn Resorts/Las Vegas; Atlantis Resort/Bahamas, Princess Cruises, McGraw Hill Publishers have featured her work as well as major art magazines Decor and Art Business News in many of their issues.

As CMO of Atlantis I commissioned Marcia Friedman to create special art for the resort on a unique product she also created specifically for us. Not only was the work beautiful, but she was a pleasure to work with.
