MADRID.- This exhibition on Martín Ramírez
will
bring together some eighty drawings from 1948 to 1963, exploring this
artist’s
extraordinary production. These works highlight Ramírez’s memories of
Mexico, as
well as his encounter with the North American landscape and the richness
of his
unique imagination. Art critics celebrate Ramírez’s oeuvre for its bold
lines,
meticulous repetitions and extraordinary variations within the same
themes
addressed consistently by the artist.
Also to be shown together
with
these works is a selection of drawings discovered in a garage in
California in
2007, which have not yet been exhibited outside New York. On
view 31
March through 2 July, 2010.
