LLAATTIINN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE µ˙The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston AUCTION CATALOGUE Auctioneer— August Uribe, Deputy Chairman, Americas, PHILLIPS Benefiting the Latin American Art Department and the International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston March 4, 2017, 8:30 p.m. The live and silent auctions can also be viewed online at paddle8.com after February 10, 2017. Live Auction Lots 1–23 FOREWORD I am delighted to present the seventh biennial Latin American Experience auction catalogue. Every two years, collectors, patrons, gallerists, and artists gather at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, to participate in the Latin American Experience Weekend. These enthusiasts come from around the world to celebrate and support our Latin American Art Department and its International Center for the Arts of the Americas (ICAA). This catalogue features objects available for this year’s live auction on March 4, 2017. Within these pages you will find an impressive selection of works from modern and contemporary artists who illustrate the diversity and vitality of Latin America. This year we celebrate the culture and visual arts of Cuba, and Latin America as a whole. Concurrent with the Gala, we will open Adiós Utopia: Dreams and Deceptions in Cuban Art Since 1950 . This momentous exhibition marks the first comprehensive display of contemporary Cuban art ever seen in the United States. It sheds light on the intricate relationship between artistic production and the utopian spirit that defined Cuba’s revolutionary period, exposing the diverse and complex processes whereby art charted, commented on, and/or confronted the country’s social utopia and its contradictions. After the success of last year’s artists’ symposium, we are excited to present Art and the Cuban Revolution: A Critical Dialogue , an exclusive series of dialogues that will enable participants to interact and engage with many of the Cuban artists whose works are exhibited in Adiós Utopia . These outstanding initiatives depend, in part, on the generosity of those who participate in the Gala and Auction. I would like to thank Chairman Mary Lile, and Auction Advisers Brad Bucher, George Kelly, and María Inés Sicardi for their dedication in making the weekend a success. We are also extremely grateful to all the artists, dealers, and artists’ estates who generously con - tributed important works to the live and silent auctions. Additionally, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has received tremendous support for the auction from P HILLIPS Auction House. Not only have they provided the weekend with extraordinary monetary support, they also have been invaluable in the organization of this spectacular auction. The 2017 Latin American Experience Auctions provide the perfect opportunity to begin or expand your collection of Latin American artworks. Thank you, again, for your generosity toward the Museum and our Latin American Art Department.
