Opening Reception for Informed Informalism: Gramcko, Otero, Pardo, and Sanín

Join our cocktail reception on September 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. for our exhibition, “Informed Informalism: Gramcko, Otero, Pardo, and Sanín”, featuring Colombian artist Fanny Sanín, and Venezuelan artists Elsa Gramcko, Mercedes Pardo and Alejandro Otero. In Twentieth Century Art of Latin America, Barnitz states, “Informalismo (informalism), as this type of abstraction was known in Latin America, took two main directions: one that depended on surface elaboration and texture, the other, on gestural brush strokes.” In the 1950s and 1960s many Latin American artists—at great political and professional peril— produced works that expanded the limits of abstract art.
