In the 80s he participated in the Nucleus of Photographic Authors that brought together many exponents of the expressive renewal that in those years occurred in photography.

He made several solo exhibitions and included samples of Argentine and Latin American photography, including those at the Burden Gallery (New York, 1986), the Georges Pompidou Center (Paris, 1983), the Biennial of Caserta (Italy, 1982) and the II Colloquium of Photography (Mexico, 1981). After working as a photographer and graphic editor of the magazine Ñ of the newspaper Clarín, a few years ago Eduardo Grossman stopped working in graphic media and since then he has dedicated himself only to photographing for pleasure, concentrating on his obsessions, reworking his photos. In 2011, two samples exhibited their versatility: on the one hand, 24.10.11 / 2, three decades of images, consisting of black and white portraits of plastic artists made between 1979 and 1999, and the series Concreto, abstract images-detail captured On walks through the La Boca neighborhood, which resemble works by Mark Rothko or Jackson Pollock.
