ARTBO 2011 JUST AROUND THE CORNER

 

 

 

One of the most beautiful art fairs in Latin America is about to open its doors this October 20th in Bogota. What is important for me  to go to Colombia, Bogota and see this show is to find the most interesting latin american emerging art, and I have to refer specifically to the Colombian artists.

Colombia has a group of very young but very comprised and studied  artists with lot of talent and lot of concept which is the most interesting issue for me and  for every contemporary curator or art collector.

This is an art fair which I recommend to every people who has a lot of sensibility to apraise art, but perhaps doesn’t have a big budget to start collecting art. It is an art fair that with just 7 years  into today meets the best Latin American galleries like, Siccardi, Houston, Leon Tovar Ny, La Cometa, Bogota, Faria-Fabregas, Caracas, Roesler, Brasil, Enrique Guerrero, Mexico, Ascaso, Caracas amongst other.

It is also a good show to see good modern Latin American art  and  geometric abstraction.
