MEXICO CITY.- Mexico City has a vibrant contemporary art scene that thrives thanks to its museums, galleries and independent exhibition spaces.

Morton Subastas, the leading auction house in Mexico and the most active in Latin America, has been gaining international appeal thanks to the diversity and quality of its auctions.

Coming up on September 28, Morton Subastas will be holding a unique contemporary art auction, named appropriately Esto Es Ahora (This Is Now).

What makes this auction special and unprecedented is that, like never before, it gathers works from different artists, groups and contemporary proposals of diverse formats and languages.

Morton Subastas is interested in being a platform that makes contemporary art visible and approachable to the general public, encouraging the collecting of contemporary art forms, as well as the physical and virtual spaces that promote their production and development.

Esto Es Ahora is a compilation of works that tell about what is happening in art today; a reunion of artists from different backgrounds and trajectories that approach art from the ludic, the political, the public and the poetic.

Pieces by blue chip artists such as Carlos Amorales, Damien Hirst, Gabriel Orozco, Bosco Sodi, Enrique Ježik and Ed Ruscha can be found, as well as works by emerging and mid-career artists.

The pre-sale exhibition will be open to the public from September 21st to September 27th 2016 in the saleroom located at PillBox Gallery in the hip neighborhood of San Miguel Chapultepec, Mexico City.
