Marisa de Lempicka is the great-granddaughter of renowned modernist painter Tamara de Lempicka and the Founder and President of the Tamara de Lempicka Estate. Since assuming leadership of the Estate in 2019, she has dedicated herself to preserving, protecting, and sharing her great-grandmother's artistic legacy while introducing it to new audiences worldwide.

Working at the intersection of scholarship, museums, publishing, licensing, and cultural storytelling, Marisa oversees the Estate's archives, intellectual property, publications, exhibitions, and international collaborations. Her work is guided by a commitment to preserving the integrity of Tamara de Lempicka's legacy while ensuring its continued relevance for future generations.

Since taking over the Estate, Marisa has secured three highly successful museum exhibitions in Poland, attracting approximately 300,000 visitors. She also negotiated a long-term loan of the Estate's archives and selected works to the National Museum in Lublin, where they now form the cornerstone of the museum's permanent Lempicka exhibition and provide an invaluable resource for future scholars.

Marisa collaborated closely with the de Young Museum in San Francisco and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, on the first major Tamara de Lempicka retrospective in the United States since the artist's death in 1980. She contributed archival materials and family photographs that enriched the exhibition and managed the licensing of Tamara's imagery for the accompanying museum shops. Presented in 2024 and 2025, the exhibition introduced thousands of visitors to Lempicka's extraordinary work.

She also collaborated with the producers of the Broadway musical Lempicka, sharing family stories with the cast and creative team while licensing Tamara's artwork for the production's scenic design, theater installations, and promotional materials. Following its acclaimed Broadway premiere and three Tony Award nominations in 2024, the musical completed a highly successful, nearly sold-out run in Seoul, South Korea, in 2026.

Marisa was the principal Estate collaborator and one of the driving forces behind the documentary The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka and the Art of Survival. She opened the Estate's archives, connected the filmmakers with key historians and collectors, and appears throughout the film alongside her mother, Victoria de Lempicka. Since its acclaimed premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival, the documentary has been screened internationally at venues including Lincoln Center in New York, the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C., the Centre Pompidou Málaga, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and numerous museums and film festivals worldwide.

Marisa has contributed essays and research to several books published by the Estate in both Poland and the United States. As the Estate's international spokesperson, she regularly lectures, participates in panel discussions, and appears on television, radio, podcasts, and documentaries, sharing both scholarly research and her family's unique perspective on Tamara de Lempicka's life and work.

She has also developed thoughtfully curated licensing collaborations that extend Tamara de Lempicka's legacy beyond the museum while maintaining the artistic integrity of the Estate. These partnerships include collaborations with the international fashion brand Reserved, Samsung Art Store, Universal Genève, and other cultural and luxury brands. She also created a collection of silk scarves and luxury accessories inspired by Tamara's iconic paintings, handcrafted in Como, Italy, by master artisans.

Marisa is currently collaborating on a feature film, a television mini-series, a traveling immersive exhibition, new publications, and international museum initiatives that continue to expand appreciation of Tamara de Lempicka as one of the most important modernist artists of the twentieth century.
