Press Release

In conjunction with Art Basel OVR: Miami Beach, Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino presents The Grid in Modern Latin American Art, featuring work by master artists Antonio Asis, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Gego, Alejandro Otero, Julio Le Parc, Mercedes Pardo, Francisco Sobrino, Jesús Rafael Soto, and Luis Tomasello. Working between Europe and Latin America in the mid-twentieth century, these artists used the framework of the grid as a starting point for divergent exploration of color and form on their paths to geometric abstraction.

The exhibition will be on view in Houston during the virtual edition of the annual art fair (December 2-6, 2020), and will run through January 9, 2021.
