Mexico City.- On very few occasions have so many important works of art from Mexican and Latin-American painters have been offered in the same auction. This November 10th in Morton Casa de Subastas the different faces of Latin-American art will all be present, from portraits to still lives, to monumental pieces from the great masters of contemporary abstracts. The expressions of colour manifest the spirit of this land, one which surpasses the frontiers of the region and bring an added value to their voices. All of these works of art will be offered, works of art from renowned artists from the caliber of: Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Francisco Zúñiga, Juan Soriano, Guillermo Meza and Ricardo Martínez, to name but a few. Great female artists are lso represented with works by María Izquierdo, Cordelia Urueta, Lilia Carrillo, Valetta Swann and Silvia H. González. Latin-American art at its finest by Kcho, Eduardo Kingman,  Fernando de Szyszlo, Roberto Fabelo and Santiago Rebolledo. Boris Viskin, José Antonio Farrera, Héctor de Anda and Gabriel Orozco, will be under the hammer as well.

Self-portraits are to be an important part in this sale; the immortality of the artist is exposed not because of the legacy of his work, but from the traces that conform the portrait. A way to remember those who have given so much to art. María Izquierdo, Juan Soriano, Carlos Orozco Romero, deserve a special mention in this department. Alfredo Ramos Martínez, Diego Rivera, Jesús Guerrero Galván y Roberto Montenegro offer us their vision on portraits which explain their views on the characters which surrounded them. They conform a delightful collection. The colour on the landscapes, the delicacy of abstract traces, everything combines to form a marvelous auction. A varied offering, albeit well structured, you may very well find a work of art which complements your collection or merely enlivens a part of your home or office, an aesthetic vision which will be with you for a long time.
