FIFTY YEARS OF LATIN AMERICAN
ART: SELECTIONS FROM THE
NEUBERGER MUSEUM OF ART
FEBRUARY 28–MAY 30, 2012
ON VIEW AT THE 1285 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS GALLERY, NEW YORK
GALLERY HOURS:
MONDAY–FRIDAY, 8 AM–6 PM
Fifty Years of Latin American Art, on view at 1285 Avenue of the Americas Gallery, New York, features nearly sixty works in various media from the Museum's permanent collection of Latin American art, dating from the 1960s to the present.
Over the last fifty years, many Latin American artists began to move away from traditional modes of art production, exploring forms such as kinetic, optical, and conceptual art. These investigations reflect an interest in pure color and form, as well as self-expression including notions of identity, desire, internal struggle, and liberty.
The selection includes works by major modern and contemporary Latin American artists, including:
Julio Antonio
Manuel Álvarez Bravo
Marta María Pérez Bravo
Leda Catunda
José Clemente Orozco
Carlos Cruz Diez
José Luis Cuevas
Arturo Duclós
Nicolás de Jesús
Carlos Garaicoa
Florencio Gelabert
Alfred Jensen
Wifredo Lam
Eduardo MacEntyre
Arturo Mallman
María Martínez-Cañas
Roberto Matta
Betsabeé Romero
Jesús Rafael Soto
Gerardo Suter
Rufino Tamayo
Eugenia Vargas
