Overview

View Print Catalogue

Results:
Presented for the first time as two collecting categories, Latin American Art achieved a strong combined sales total of $21.1 million.

Led by Rufino Tamayo's Bañistas En Cancún at $1,570,000 (well within its estimate of $1.2 - 1.6 million), the Modern Art auction totalled $13,402,750. The star lot was followed by Armando Morales' long-paneled Cuatro Bañistas En Canal De Plantación, which sold for $982,000, more than 1.5 times its high estimate.

Details:
Latin America: Modern Art focuses on figurative artworks from the region by leading artists engaged in traditional landscape painting, portraiture, Cubism, Mexican Muralism, Surrealism, Social Realism, Hyper-Realism among others; the sale will mostly include works executed in long established media from the late 19th and throughout the 20th century.
