Sotheby’s November Latin American Art sale celebrates the 30th anniversary of auctions in this field. The first Latin American Art Sale was pioneered by Sotheby’s in 1979 in conjunction with the Center for Inter-American Relations (now the Americas Society). Sotheby’s is proud to continue this innovative tradition with a sale that highlights one of the most lyrical surrealist paintings by Roberto Matta – Endless Nudes, accompanied by other great surrealist works by Leonora Carrington and Rufino Tamayo. The pioneering non-figurative tradition in Latin American Art is epitomized by Diego Rivera’s stunning cubist Naturaleza Muerta en Óvalo and Joaquín Torres- Garcia’s Construcción Infinita. Art from Brazil is another highlight, with works by Camargo, Varejão, Meireles and Krajcberg.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
