NEW YORK, NY – International competition drove strong results at Doyle’s Latin American Art auction on April 8, 2025. Bidders vied for paintings, drawings and sculpture by prominent artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, representing Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean Islands.
The Nicaraguan master of Neofiguration, Armando Morales (1927-2011) was represented by a large-scale 1984 work on canvas that showcased the artist's dreamlike compositions. While focusing on abstract works earlier in his career, by the 1970s Morales had adapted into Surrealist-tinged paintings with ethereal settings and mysterious narratives. The enigmatic work realized $48,000, at the top end of its $30,000-50,000 estimate.
Oaxacan artist Maximino Javier (b. 1948) is one of the founding members of the Rufino Tamayo Plastic Arts Workshop. Continuing in Tamayo's footsteps, Javier melds Surrealist imagery with folk tales and culture of Oaxaca. An untitled work from 1982 finds Javier employing his unique and whimsical characters with sublime effect. The artwork sparked competitive bidding, more than tripling its $8,000-12,000 estimate to sell for $35,200.
The large-scale work on canvas Concierto 4:40 showcased Alejandro Colunga's (b. 1948) fantastic anthropomorphic figures in his post-Expressionist style. The Guadalajara-born Colunga was originally trained as an architect before becoming a leading artist in Mexico's "Nueva Mexicanidad" movement. Competitive bidding sent the work soaring past its $3,000-5,000 estimate to achieve $32,000.
