MIGUEL AGUIRRE: PINTA PArC'S NOMINATED ARTIST FOR EFG LATIN AMERICA ART AWARD
The EFG Latin America Art Award, in association with ArtNexus, announced Miguel Aguirre as Pinta PArC's nominated artist for the award.
The selected work by the artist –represented by Daniel Cuevas Gallery– is Lima I, from the Handscape Series, 2024. Miguel Aguirre (Lima, 1973) is a referent of a new Peruvian figurative painting. He has exhibited both individually and collectively in museums, institutions and galleries in Spain, France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, the United States, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. His work is part of important collections and has been reviewed in several books.
Lima I was selected at the Pinta PArC fair in Peru, with the collaboration of Sharon Lerner, independent curator, and Celia Sredni de Birbragher, director and editor of ArtNexus.
The EFG Latin America Art Award, now in its fourteenth edition, was created to support the production of Latin American artists. The process consists of pre-selecting the work of artists through a jury at contemporary art fairs in Latin America throughout each year. The award aims to promote the continent's visual arts production and regional fairs among collectors from around the world.
This year the fairs where preselection will take place are: SP Arte, São Paulo; PArC, Lima; arteba, Buenos Aires; Ch.ACO, Santiago de Chile and ArtBo, Bogota.
As in previous years, once the nominees have been selected at the participating Latin American art fairs, the acquisition will be announced at Pinta Miami during the week of Art Basel. EFG Capital will acquire a representative work of art by the winning artist. The entire EFG Latin America Art Award collection is on permanent display at EFG Capital's Miami office.
