Spanish Geometric Abstraction at 2012 PINTA London

PINTA, during its London and New York editions, has been identified and defined a Latin American art show, exclusively. However, in 2012 its organizers are looking forward to including the Spanish American –back to the times of modernity and contemporaneity on the Iberian Peninsula, a dialogue with the same periods in Latin America–, in a reunion that reactivates the links between both countries’ cultural experience.

Since the beginning, the Fair joined the efforts to put on the map artworks that broke the stereotypes of Latin American art, and that’s what happens with the multiple explorations on geometric abstraction. 2012 PINTA London (June 7 – 10) simultaneously supports the recovery of pioneer movements in terms of concrete art in Spain –where it was called “normative” and identified as “cold” –, through the work carried out by exhibition spaces such as Rafael Ortiz gallery (Seville, Equipo 57’s monographic) and Juan de la Mano Art Gallery (Madrid, with artworks created by Jose Duarte, Manuel Calvo, Jose Maria de Labra, Julio Plaza and Ideal Sanchez).

This strategy will undoubtedly generate a profitable market movement: the first objective of an art show.
