Christie’s presents a selling exhibition, _Colombia Recounted: A Project of Contemporary Colombian Art_
Christie’s announces a selling exhibition, Colombia Recounted: A Project of Contemporary Colombian Art, which offers a vision of contemporary Colombian art through artists who have played an important role in the development of the mentioned country’s art scene over the last decades.
Curators Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig, PhD, and Oscar Roldán-Alzate, MS, have selected works that represent different points of view within a common context that go beyond geographic limits and extend to the international contemporary discourse. The exhibition will be staged in the new West Galleries, and it will be open to the public simultaneously with Christie’s May auctions of Latin American art.
The aim of the exhibition is to feature works by artists who have addressed social, political and economic issues that affect not only their immediate environment but also a more global context. Through paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos and installations, the show raises different questions related to the territory and the plurality of the landscape, and establishes new critical links between culture and the development of new narratives.
Among the artists featured at the show, mention may be made of Monika Bravo, María Fernanda Cardoso, Antonio Caro, Rafael Gómez Barros, Beatriz González, Miler Lagos, Oscar Muñoz, Luis Fernando Roldán and Doris Salcedo. Through their works and their participation in national and international events, these artists have become references for the analysis of both the local and the international art scenes.
