The pieces selected for this auction act as tangible testimony of the directions that the history of universal art has taken and its repercussions at a national level, for this reason we are pleased to include works by artists who were pillars of modern art in our country. An example of this is lot 44 by Diego Rivera, the Portrait of Oskar Homolka, a famous actor of Austro-Hungarian origin who established himself in Hollywood and with whom the artist met on several occasions.

On the other hand, La espera by David Alfaro Siqueiros stands out, as well as two portraits of Rafael Coronel: My dear Humberta and The boy from the press.

Another essential part of Mexican art is without a doubt the Oaxacan school, in this way, we are honored to have among the lots of this auction pieces by Sergio Hernández, Francisco Toledo, Alejandro Santiago, Jesús Urbieta and his son Chu Huiini, heir to the great tradition isthmeño

Additionally, the auction house has two pieces from the TANE jewelry house, for which the artists Gloria Cortina and Paloma Torres were selected to be part of the Gallos collection as a tribute to the designs of Maestro Pedro Leites sixty years after its creation. .

Morton Subastas invites you to see the pieces in person at Monte Athos 179 and contemplate the development of the art market on August 24.
