Gallery in Miami celebrates Hispanic heritage with exhibition of Latin American artists
Since its beginnings, the Latin Art Core gallery has promoted Latin American and Cuban culture in its spaces in Miami
MIAMI.- The Latin Art Core art gallery, founded by collector Israel Moleiro on Calle Ocho in Little Havana, celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with a free exhibition that brings together the projects of established and emerging Latin American artists.
The exhibition called Great Masters of Latin American Art presents works by Julio Le Parc, from Argentina; Roberto Matta, from Chile; Wifredo Lam and Tomás Sánchez; from Cuba; Jesús Soto and Carlos Cruz Diez, from Venezuela; Fernando Botero, from Colombia; Jorge Jiménez Deredia, from Costa Rica; Pablo Atchugarry, from Uruguay; among many others.
The purpose of the exhibition is to highlight the talent that vibrates in the Latin roots and will be available from September 15 to October 15, Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The works on display are property of the gallery and some have been loaned by private collectors for the exhibition.
In an interview with DIARIO LAS AMÉRICAS, Israel Moleiro highlighted the importance of how the promotion of Latin American artists has contributed to the development of universal art.
"If we do not know our history and the place that these masters occupy in the history of universal art, we cannot value in a fair measure the contribution that our culture has made to the development of visual arts in the United States. Every day more importance is being given to the role of Latin American artists within the modern avant-garde; the inclusion of more than 80 of them in the current Venice Biennale is a clear recognition of this," he declared.
Promotion of Hispanic art
Since its beginnings, Latin Art Core has promoted Latin American and Cuban culture in its spaces in Miami, allowing Americans, tourists and Latino residents in the United States to connect with the artistic talent of the American continent.
"The Gallería has been in existence for almost 20 years. Our connection with art is a family affair. I grew up in an artistic environment in Cuba and when I left I continued that connection with art," Moleiro recalled.
After two decades, the collector points out that the receptivity of the American community to Latin American art has been positive.
"In the United States there is a great eagerness for Latin American art, a very important factor is Miami, which has been transformed into the capital of Latin American art. The great presence of Latin American artists and great works makes it possible for this collection to grow in our city, especially among those people who are moving here and want to get in tune with the cultural flavor of this environment. The light and color of Miami are other factors that influence this trend."
Moleiro noted that the gallery is preparing for new exhibitions of Latin American masters and will participate in the Art Miami Fair in December.
