About the Item

Oswaldo Vigas Terricola, 1963 Oil on Canvas 116 x 90 cm 45.6 x 35.4 in. The painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Cat. Rais. 1963.131 Provenance: Private Collection, United States Oswaldo Vigas (b. 1923, Valencia, Venezuela; d. 2014, Caracas, Venezuela) is a protean creative spirit who became what many consider to be one of Latin America’s most important modernist artists. He drew on an unusually broad range of styles and ideas in his work. He explored a diversity of influences that served his ongoing search into his mestizo identity. Cubism, Surrealism, Constructivism, Informalism, and New-Figuration are all employed in his work in a personal way, while he remained faithful to his own convictions and created a body of work containing imagery that is both authentic and unique. In 1952, Vigas relocated to Paris for a twelve-year stay, there, he encountered some of the era’s most important artists, movements, and ideas, and was a key player in the city’s legendary “avant-garde” scene. He was a frequent participant in the prestigious Salon de Mai, along with Jean Arp, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Wifredo Lam, Fernando Leger, Rene Magritte, Henri Matisse, Roberto Matta, Pablo Picasso, among others. In 1964, he returned to Venezuela, where he settled and continued to work untiringly until his death in 2014 at the age of 90. Vigas’ work has been showcased in more than a hundred solo exhibitions, and evidence of his oeuvre is present in numerous institutions as well as in public and private collections worldwide, as well as in major auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s which has reported excellent results and an undeniable upward trend. A major anthological exhibition has been traveling throughout the most important museums of the Americas since 2014. Vigas has recently received greater attention in the United States with a traveling retrospective exhibition in North America, at the Grand Rapids Museum in 2018, and then at the Tampa Museum of Art in 2019. By October 2023, the Museum of Modern Art (Museo de Arte Moderno), Mexico City, will present Vigas: Americas es un cosmos.

By Emanuel Buckvar
Located in New York, NY
Emanuel Buckvar (American, b. 1980) Peonies, 2011 Oil on canvas 30 x 24 inches Signed, titled and dated on the reverse Provenance: The artist Private Collection, Long Island, 2011 contemporary AbEx artist Emanuel Buckvar successfully refutes the idea that there is nothing left to explore with drip or splatter paintings. Buckvar explores ideas of space and volume in his work. He frequently "paints in the dark" so as to focus on the process of creation as opposed to the thing created. From the time he was a child, Emanual Buckvar loved, collected, studied and sold art purchased from estates, so for Christmas 2010, his wife bought him a batch of paint, stretched canvases, brushes. Then she had to nag him for months to give it a shot. Finally, he gave did, deciding to do some action paintings (outside at dusk in his driveway). To his astonishment, he sold several to customers for thousands of dollars each. His first and best selling paintings...
