MEXICO CITY.- Morton Subastas announces its upcoming Latin American Art Auction, which will offer an exceptional selection of 205 lots by many of the region’s most renowned modern and contemporary masters. This outstanding auction includes works from prestigious Mexican and international collections.

Leading the auction is Claudio Bravo’s La Chaise Le Corbusier, which was painted in the 70s, while the artist was living in Morocco. An important oil on canvas by surrealist master Roberto Matta will also be offered in this auction as well as a lush tropical landscape by Tomás Sánchez, one of Cuba’s most relevant contemporary artists.

This sale is also a unique opportunity to access works of historical significance, such as Jorge González Camarena’s large-format study for the mural Ciencia y técnica, ca. 1970. The model for this mural was Victoria Dorantes. It is said that the artist had painted his ideal of the Mexican woman for years: deep dark eyes, black silky hair, majestic body. And then he met her in the flesh when he came into the presence of Victoria.

Other highlights include two of Roberto Montenegro’s convex self-portraits, an early still-life by Joaquín Torres García, three important pieces by Mathias Goeritz, as well as works by Alfredo Alcalde García, Ángel Zárraga, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Francisco Toledo, Frida Kahlo, Alfredo Ramos Martínez, Olga de Amaral and Alberto Gironella.

The exhibition prior to the auction will be open to the public from May 13 to May 17 in the saleroom located at Club Naval Norte in Mexico City.
