Sponsored by: Institute of Fine Arts (New York University), PINTA and The Cervantes Institute in New York.  

The inaugural International Contemporary Latin American Art Forum will take place in the context of The Modern And Contemporary Latin American Art Fair (PINTA 2009), as an exciting professional event for all agents involved in the international contemporary art market. Key speakers, top international experts, along with dynamic new voices, in each particular subject area, have been invited to take part in this illuminating series of panel discussions—an influential platform for debate and reflection on art creation and the art market in the context of Latin American Art.

 

The panel Global Latin American Art Market: Present Challenges & Changing Dynamics highlights the prime challenges in the dynamic art market, providing key insights into the market’s future directions, and the associated potential opportunities.  In the same line, the second panel, New Positioning: Reflection, Isolation & Globalization, addresses, on the one hand, the complexities of a real and active process of integration to the global order and, on the other hand, the capacity to challenge what this process presupposes.

 

PINTA is a unique event exhibiting annually – for sale through the participating galleries – the best of Latin American art, coinciding with Christie’s and Sotheby’s Latin American art auctions and with important exhibitions in museums and cultural organizations in New York City. The most prestigious galleries from the United States, Latin America and Europe have been invited to participate in this art fair. (http://www.pintaart.com/)
