CELEBRATING PERUVIAN ART: MALI'S SUMMER AUCTION RETURNS
The Lima Art Museum (MALI) has announced the return of its emblematic event, thanks to the sponsorship of BBVA Global Wealth and RIMAC. The showcase will take place on February 21 at Playa del Golf, in the Asia beach resort.
The 2025 edition of the Summer Auction reaffirms its commitment to the promotion and dissemination of Peruvian art, featuring a diverse catalog that ranges from historical masters to exponents of Amazonian and Andean traditions, as well as contemporary artists. The auction includes works by renowned Peruvian artists, such as José Sabogal, a pioneer of Indigenism in Peru; Elena Izcue, known for her modern reinterpretation of pre-Columbian art; and Sandra Gamarra, one of the most influential figures in contemporary Peruvian art.
This edition also features exponents of Amazonian art, including Olinda Silvano, Roldán Pinedo, and Lastenia Canayo García, whose works reflect the cultural and traditional richness of their communities. Additionally, the auction presents pieces by historical artists such as Julia Codesido, Macedonio de la Torre, and Alejandro Gonzales Trujillo “Apu-Rimak”, among many others.

LANGUAGE AND SOCIETY IN LÚA CODERCH'S WORK AT THE RYDER
The work that Lúa Coderch (Iquitos, Peru, 1982) has been doing around language takes over her recent solo show at Madrid's The Ryder Projects to consolidate a new relational vision of communicative practices. Exhausted and exuberant, title of this partially retrospective and almost thesis exhibition, also responds to the two apparently opposite moods, but with an inexorable link, of the vital needs that seep into contemporary society between individuals and a certain extimacy that, organically, seems to have been imposed.
