The Latin American auction sale at Christie’s in NYC completed a few hours ago.
Virgilio Garza, Head of Latin American Paintings at Christie’s commented: “Major records for modern and contemporary Latin American works were set…. The sale was led by Matta’s La révolte des contraires, which realized $5 million, against the high estimate of $2.5 million, and set a world auction record for the artist, a long overdue recognition for one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Inquisitive, world-traveling José Bedia gets the retrospective treatment.
By Phillip Valys, Sun Sentinel
5:44 p.m. EDT, May 17, 2012
When painter José Bedia answers the phone on a Monday afternoon, he’s standing inside a bustling marketplace in Lima, Peru, about to buy exotic food and souvenirs for his brother and son in Miami. The Cuban-born artist considers this journey to South America one of his so-called “artistic pilgrimages,” named as such because, for the past 30 years, Bedia has been making these far-flung journeys in pursuit of spiritual and cultural objects that inspire his artworks.
Transcultural Pilgrim: Three Decades of Work by Jose Bedia
When: Wednesday through Sept. 2 (opening reception is 6-9 p.m. Wednesday)
Where: Miami Art Museum, 101 W. Flagler St.

Diario de Cuba
Tras varios años sin exponer, el pintor y diseñador gráfico muestra sus últimas pinturas.
La creación de imágenes, como la expresión poética, es uno de los medios al alcance del hombre para trasmitir y asimilar experiencias y sensaciones inexplicables, para explorar aquello que nos rodea y que inevitablemente forma parte de nosotros mismos. Referencia imprescindible en el panorama de las artes plásticas cubanas de las últimas cuatro décadas, la obra de Umberto Peña (La Habana, 1937) ha estado estrechamente ligada a las influencias y efectos del medio circundante, configurando una original indagación sobre la condición humana.

Waltman Ortega Fine Art is pleased to present “Passengers” a recent series of paintings by the celebrated Cuban-american artist. Featuring paintings ranging in size from intimate to monumental, these works provide a hypnotic meditation on the human condition and the passage of time.
“Airports, train stations, bus stops, parking lots … all are a source of fascination and anxiety for me,” notes Rodriguez. “With their constant, yet anonymous flow of traffic, these places embody some of the most impermanent and poignant paradoxes in life. I have composed each picture as both an interior and exterior landscape, in which space becomes a metaphor for loneliness.”

At the time of his death in 2006, Agustin Fernandez ranked among Cuba’s most outstanding artists. Defying simple categorization, today his work is most recognizable for its ambiguous and precariously balanced forms, erotic overtones, surreal juxtapositions, and metallic palette.
The image shown here is from the CANY files- 2001 Exhibit.

Lately we have seen a revitalized interest in the work of a group of Cuban artists that were very active in the fifties and early sixties. These artists introduced to Cuba’s predominantly figurative art of the period the then novel abstract tendencies that were coming first from Europe and later from the United States.

Body Tracks foregrounds the life and art of Ana Mendieta (1948-1985), who despite being a prolific performance and body artist from the 1970s is unknown to many artists under forty. Her career serves as an illustration of feminist art practices of the 1970s and the backlash against that movement in the mid 1980s.
