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.

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
