This has led to a compression of yields as investors have competed ever harder to secure prime property in city markets such as London, Munich, New York, Singapore and Sydney. This squeeze on investment returns, and the expectation of interest rate rises in 2015, is acting to push investors to look for more risk. Demand for property in markets such as Paris, which has been overlooked over the past four years, is likely to rise. More investors are betting on an upswing in recovery markets such as Dublin and Madrid.

Tsunami 6 Months After Foreword At the end of December 2004, Plan joined people from neighbouring communities, local governmental and voluntary organisations, and the international community to respond to the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. It seems appropriate now both to reflect on what has happened since the tsunami struck, and to look at the work in the months and years ahead. The tsunami was an unprecedented disaster, both in terms of its impact and in the scale of local and international responses. Given this, what has Plan been able to achieve or not achieve over the past six months? How did Plan work with people in their struggle to reclaim their normal lives? What children’s issues were we in Plan able to address, and what issues remain? Outsiders tend to see the victims and survivors of disasters as a homogeneous group. In fact, there are as many stories as there are people.

It argues that beginning in the early 1920s a nationalist movement in music emerged, which was not only determined by but also determinant in the construction of a concept of nationhood. The movement took place at a crucial time when the country had entered a process of economic transformation. The shift in Venezuela’s economic system from agrarian to industrial in the 1910s triggered a reconfiguration of the country’s social and cultural structures.

    Geometric Abstract Works: the Latin American Vision from the 1950S, 60S and 70S

    GEOMETRIC ABSTRACT WORKS: THE LATIN AMERICAN VISION FROM THE 1950S, 60S AND 70S HENRIQUE FARIA FINE ART Notwithstanding the recent Latin American extravaganzas at the Museum of Modern Art and NYU’s Grey Art Gallery, it is still remarkably unusual to see Latin American artists enjoy their due recognition. Without a doubt, both New Perspectives and The Geometry of Hope have made leaps to enhance our understanding of Latin America’s contribution to modern art. However, decades of oblivion cannot be recovered in a few years. Much indifference has left its mark on the reception of Latin American art in the United States. To cite but one example, the only Latin American included in the Guggenheim’s Abstraction in the 20th Century: Total Risk, Freedom, Discipline (1996) was Roberto Matta. This might seem odd given today’s tendency in the art world to be more inclusive and to embrace international artists. But histories get buried and when the time is right, they get found. The developments of geometric abstraction in Latin America is one such history. Seeking to counter this, Geometric Abstract Works: The Latin American Vision From The 1950s, 60s And 70s offers a rare opportunity to view works created by twenty-one Latin American artists during the seminal decades of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Featuring works from an array of movements that flourished in different countries, the show presents a surprising array of paintings, sculptures and works on paper by some of the most important figures of the post-war era who embraced the legacy of Constructivism in Latin America.

    DATE: October 1, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GETTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE ACQUIRES ARCHIVE OF VENEZUELAN INTELLECTUAL AND PHOTOGRAPHER ALFREDO BOULTON Puerto Nutrias, 1948, Alfredo Boulton (Venezuelan, 1908-1995), Gelatin silver print Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles LOS ANGELES – Getty Research Institute has acquired the archive of Alfredo Boulton (Venezuelan, 1908-1995) one of the most important champions of modern art in Latin America and a key intellectual in 20th-century Venezuela. An art critic, art historian, and photographer, Boulton authored more than 60 publications on the art and historiography of his country. At the same time, he was also a pioneer of modern photography, generating through his images a new cultural definition of Venezuela. The Boulton archive, ca. 1920-1995, contains his extensive correspondence with local and international artists, institutions, intellectuals, and collectors; his writings for magazines and newspapers, his research materials on pre-Hispanic art, colonial art, the iconography of independence leaders, and modern artists; and a complete vintage collection of his photographic production. “Alfredo Boulton’s life and work correspond to a time when Venezuela became a focal center of modernism in Latin America. His extensive research activities on pre- Hispanic art, colonial art, 19th-century art, and his investigations on the imagery of the leaders of independence, defined the artistic history of Venezuela,” said Mary Miller, director of Getty Research Institute. “He was also an accomplished photographer,
