LYGIA CLARK “This season's Latin America sale includes masterpieces from the most important periods of Contra Relevo (Objeto N. 7), 1959 the last 70 years of Latin American Art, and it aims to set the standard for the future of our Estimate $600,000 - 800,000 program. We have seminal works from the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement, from Lygia Clark 's 1959 Contra Relevo to Lygia Pape’s large scale 1957 Desenho. Among the most important pieces in the sale is Amelia Peláez’s Las Hermanas, which Alfred Barr considered to be a highlight of The Museum of Modern Art’s 1944 exhibition of Modern Cuban Painters. In a more contemporary vein, we are delighted to feature Gabriel Orozco’s Naturaleza recuperada, one of the most iconic and exhibited works in his oeuvre. This work is part of the Alma Colectiva collection, which unites the most important group of contemporary Mexican and Brazilian artists of the last 20 years. This auction demonstrates the highly diverse yet historically significant and radical art that has been produced in Latin America, and we seek to incorporate these artists within the canon of their better known contemporaries in North America and Europe.” Henry Allsopp, Senior Director and Worldwide Head of Latin America. LYGIA CLARK, Contra Relevo (Objeto N. 7), 1959, estimated at $600,000-800,000. Lygia Clark is considered one of the most important artists to have emerged from Brazil during the 20th-Century. Her practice is seen as the link between the Modernismo that defined Brazilian Modern art in the 1920s and 1940s and the post-war emergence of the abstract geometric and neo-constructivist trends. LYGIA PAPE Contra Relevo is considered one of Clark’s most significant works. It has been credited with Untitled (Desenho), 1957 influencing art critic Ferreira Gullar’s Theory of the Non-Object as well as subsequent Estimate $250,000 - 350,000 generations of Neoconcrete artists. Contra Relevo holds the rare distinction of igniting the ideological dialogue that changed the course of contemporary art in the Americas. LYGIA PAPE, Untitled (Desenho), 1957, estimated at $250,000 - 350,000. Lygia Pape is a master at imbuing vivacity into the most standard environments. Her artistic vision expanded contemporary art beyond representation and quietly rejected traditional figuration. Her works became forms in their own right, which lead to an embrace of Brazilian Neoconcretism in the late 1950’s. Untitled (Desenho), evokes the simplicity of the square and the line. The thin uniform lines are overturned by the superimposed rectangles adding visual acrobatics and a unique layer of dynamism to an otherwise consistent geometric landscape. AMELIA PELÁEZ, Las Hermanas, 1943, estimate at $250,000-350,000. Amelia Peláez is one of the most prominent artists of the Cuban avant-garde. After studying in New York and Paris, Peláez returned to Cuba develop her own brand of cubism, incorporating themes and imagery from the Hispanic Caribbean. Las Hermanas, is a vibrant image portraying two sisters looking out from the balcony of their house, a snapshot of everyday life in Cuba. Although the sisters are not alike in facial features, they are presented with similar intensity. They are gracefully brought together through Cubist rendering that displays the artist’s virtuosity and flair for psychological drama. Las Hermanas was included in the Modern Cuban Painters exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in 1944, curated by Alfred Barr. LUIS TOMASELLO, Atmosphère chromoplastique No. 248, 1970 estimated at $150,000- 250,000. Argentinian artist, Luis Tomasello, is famous for his role in Kinetic Art, a movement which set the stage for the emergence of Optical Art in the mid-20th century. He was moved by his initial exposure to European art and the optical effects of the windows AMELIA PELÁEZ Las Hermanas, 1943 from the French gothic Chartres Cathedral. The study of these windows and their Estimate $250,000 - 350,000 engagement with light became preeminent features in Tomasello’s work and laid the groundwork for a prolific career in geometric abstraction. Atmosphére chromoplastique No. 248, consists of four hundred cubes laid uniformly upon a wooden surface, creating a grid with equally proportioned spaces between forms. The underside of each cubic unit is painted on two surfaces with fluorescent green or electric blue, creating a subtle glow throughout the work. The present lot epitomizes Tomasello’s œuvre in its expolartion of the interplay of color and light that occurs where the cubes meet the work’s surface. GEGO, Seis de la serie de Nueve, 1969, estimated at $80,000-120,000. German born Gertrudis Goldschmidt, otherwise known as Gego, was an architect and engineer who immigrated to Venezuela in the late 1930’s in response to the Nazi regime in Germany. Gego developed her own style using the ideas of Constructivism, Geometric Abstraction and Kinetic Art. She developed her own visual language making three-dimensional objects using a variety of materials, most notably stainless steel wire. Seis de la serie de Nueve was produced at the height Gego’s career. The piece is made of GABRIEL OROZCO fine stainless-steel wires anchored to a transparent acrylic glass base through small Naturaleza recuperada, 1990 perforations and then knotted underneath. The wires stand up freely from the base, grass- Estimate $250,000 - 350,000 like in character. The acrylic glass accentuates the subtle delicacy and lightness of the piece. IVAN SERPA, Untitled (Série Amazônica), 1969, estimated at $50,000 - 70,000. Ivan Serpa is among the most influential Brazlian artists whose award winning work calls attention to abstract geometric explorations. During the 1950s he taught courses at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, which established his influence and contribution to Brazil’s budding Concrete and Neoconcrete movements. During the 1960s Serpa entered an phase of expressive and figurative exploration. The Amazônica series shows the artist reaching a synthesis of diverse modes of creative production. The constructivist influence is present, but is “softened” by curved lines that recall a Pop and Op aesthetic combined with “tropical” colors. The tropical or Brazilian themes are significant as they emphasize his proximity to the emerging idea of Tropicália: a Brazilian answer to international popular culture which had profound effect on the art, theatre, literature and music. WILLYS DE CASTRO, Objeto Ativo, 1959-1960, estimated at $50,000-70,000. Willys de LUIS TOMASELLO Castro worked as a painter, printmaker, theatre designer, graphic designer, concrete poet Atmosphère chromoplastique No. 248, and composer. A signatory member of the 1959 Neoconcrete Manifesto, de Castro exhibited 1970 widely across Brazil. During this period, de Castro developed the idea of the active object, Estimate $150,000 - 250,000 which challenged the two dimensional nature of the traditional canvas as the only support for a painting. Objeto Ativo embodies the elements that inform de Castro’s notion of the active object. Presented as a relief, the artist demands that the viewer make a semi-circular movement around the object in order to unveil the relationships between color and form established by the work. This aspect of the piece becomes evident by the fact that it cannot be photographed from one single angle. Like most neoconrete objects it requires documentation from several points. Phillips is honored to offer a selection of works from the Alma Colectiva collection based in Guadalajara, Mexico. The collection, developed by Aurelio López Rocha, his wife Pepis Martínez, and their two children, is comprised of some of world’s most significant emerging and established artists and presents a forward-thinking vision of contemporary art. Motivated by the desire to engage and educate the public, López Rocha and his family have loaned works from Alma Colectiva to countless exhibitions and curatorial projects. Highlights from Alma Colectiva include: GABRIEL OROZCO, Naturaleza recuperada, 1990, estimated at $250,000-350,000. Mexican artist, Gabriel Orozco, is a master of observation and creative intervention. He encourages his audience to form imaginative associations between everyday images and experiences while challenging traditional concepts of beauty and nature. GEGO Seis de la serie de Nueve, 1969 Naturaleza recuperada is born from the junkyards of Mexico City, where Orozco found two Estimate $80,000 - 120,000 inner tubes and patched them together to create an inflatable ball. The present lot is one of Orozco’s most important works as it brings forth the idea that synthetic, human-made products can be as organic and beautiful as natural elements. Auto construcción, caja de velocidades, 2005, estimated at $60,000-80,000 by Damián Ortega and Names, 1989, estimated at $25,000-35,000 by Jac Leirner are also being offered from the collection. PHILLIPS: DAMIÁN ORTEGA As the only international auction house to concentrate exclusively on contemporary culture, Auto construcción, caja de velocidades, Phillips has established a commanding position in the sale of Contemporary Art, Design, 2005 Photographs, Editions and Jewelry. Through the passionate dedication of its team of global Estimate $60,000 - 80,000 specialists, the company has garnered an unparalleled wealth of knowledge of emerging market trends.

  • Modern Abstraction in Latin America Cecilia Fajardo-Hill
    Modern Abstraction in Latin America Cecilia Fajardo-Hill The history of abstraction in Latin America is dense and multilayered; its beginnings can be traced back to Emilio Pettoruti’s (Argentina, 1892–1971) early abstract works, which were in- spired by Futurism and produced in Italy during the second decade of the 20th century. Nev- ertheless, the two more widely recognized pioneers of abstraction are Joaquín Torres-García (Uruguay, 1874–1949) and Juan del Prete (Italy/Argentina, 1897–1987), and more recently Esteban Lisa (Spain/Argentina 1895–1983) for their abstract work in the 1930s. Modern abstract art in Latin America has been circumscribed between the early 1930s to the late 1970s in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela, and in more recent years Colombia, Cuba and Mexico have also been incorporated into the historiography of abstraction. Fur- thermore, it is only recently that interest in exploring beyond geometric abstraction, to in- clude Informalist tendencies is beginning to emerge. Abstract art in Latin America developed through painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, printing techniques and photography, and it is characterized by its experimentalism, plurality, the challenging of canonical ideas re- lated to art, and particular ways of dialoguing, coexisting in tension or participation within the complex process of modernity—and modernization—in the context of the political regimes of the time. Certain complex and often contradictory forms of utopianism were pervasive in some of these abstract movements that have led to the creation of exhibitions with titles such as Geometry of Hope (The Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, 2007) or Inverted Utopias: Avant Garde Art in Latin America (The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2004).

Concrete Invention: Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Thursdays from 7 th February until 18th April 2013 This is the first exhibition organised in Europe on the important Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (CPPC) and the most comprehensive to date as well. The project belongs to the collaboration agreement between Museo Reina Sofía and Fundación Cisneros / Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros. Its main aim is to enhance interest and knowledge on the importance of Latin America in the history of Modern and Contemporary art, through developing a number of jointly organised cultural initiatives. Curated by Manuel Borja-Villel, director of Museo Reina Sofía, and Gabriel Pérez- Barreiro, director of Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, the show is composed by approximately two hundred works —painting, sculpture, installation, collage and graphic work— that grows awareness on a key period of Latin American modernism (from the ‘30s to the ‘70s), many previously unseen in Spain. This thus confirms Museo Reina Sofía’s growing interest in Latin America’s cultural scene, as well as its vocation of taking an outstanding position as a museo del sur (“southern museum”).

  • 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.
