Sotheby’s is honored to present a selection of works from the collection of CDS Gallery. Founded in Caracas in 1968 as Estudio Actual by lauded art historian and critic Clara Diament Sujo, CDS Gallery opened in New York in 1981 with a groundbreaking approach to what Sujo termed “Art of the Americas.” Committed to breaking art historical barriers between the U.S. and the rest of the Americas, Sujo curated numerous acclaimed exhibitions that juxtaposed leading contemporary artists from the U.S. (including Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, Phillip Guston) alongside Latin American counterparts (including Jesús Rafael Soto, Alejandro Otero, Wifredo Lam) - introducing many of these Latin American artists to the U.S. audience for the first time. Sujo’s prescience as a gallerist is evident in the names of artists whose careers she championed; beyond the artists above, she played a key role in the careers of many of the greatest women artists of the century including Hedda Sterne, Mercedes Pardo, Louise Nevelson, Elsa Gramcko, and Marisol Escobar. This selection, offered across our Contemporary Curated and Modern &amp; Contemporary Discoveries Auctions this March, offers a snapshot of Clara Diament Sujo’s pioneering vision. It is highlighted by an important triptych by Jacobo Borges, a rare early Antonio Seguí, two luminous works on paper by Mercedes Pardo, and many others.
