A new gallery space has opened in the trendy NoMad which sees Veteran design dealer Cristina Grajales and Latin American art specialist Leon Tovar joining together in a double exhibition: ‘Edgar Negret: the Bridge’ with Leon Tovar and ‘Stefan Bishop & Steven and William Ladd’ with Cristina Grajales.
资深设计经销商CristinaGrajales和拉丁美洲艺术专家LeonTovar已经加入了一个新的合资企业,这是在纽约时尚的Nomad。
他们的6,000平方英尺的房屋组成了一个新的商业模式,每个人都有自己的专用画廊,以及一个留出空间的联合空间,以减少突破性展览。
“我们想要突出伟大的拉丁美洲现代派艺术家和最优秀的经验丰富和当代设计,”Grajales说,他喜欢托瓦尔是哥伦比亚人。不亚于乔治·利萨拉索,他曾与著名的圣地亚哥·卡拉特拉瓦合作设计了这座被太阳淹没的阁楼。
展出的是托瓦尔(Tovar)举办的一场引人注目的展览,它把哥伦比亚晚期埃德加·尼格特(Edgar Negret)的现代主义铆钉钢雕塑作为焦点。受路易丝·内弗森的严重影响,内格特的复杂作品使“纽约时报”在1972年称他为“太空时代的雕塑家”。
在他们共享的空间中,前面和中间是Marisol 1981年的单块铜制毕加索,他坐在椅子上。Grajales解释说:“这真的是一项概念性的工作,讲述了人生的历程。”
特别吸引人的是斯特凡·毕晓普的新设计。在2015年马格努斯·奥珀斯(Magnus Opus)的实制铜制中,毕晓普以水坑的形状为灵感,设计了一张刚刚超过5英尺宽的咖啡桌。然后设计师的胡桃控制台,这是由一系列相交,平面也跨越设计和雕塑。
Grajales说:“我们正处在一个全新的观众发现拉丁美洲现代主义与当代设计的艺术性的时刻。”
‘We wanted to highlight the great Latin American Modernist artists along with the best of both seasoned and contemporary design,’ says Grajales, who like Tovar is Columbian.
From Cristina Grajales' collection of works is Puddle Coffee Table 2015 by Stefan Bishop.
Bishop turned to the shapes of puddles for inspiration in designing a coffee table just over five feet across.
Front and centre in their shared space is Marisol’s 1981 monolithic bronze Picasso who is seated in a chair. ‘It’s really a conceptual work and speaks of the journey of life,’ explains Grajales

Heavily influenced by Louise Nevelson, Negret’s convoluted creations led The New York Times to dub him ‘Sculptor for the Space Age’ in 1972.

We’re at a point where entire new audiences are discovering the artistry of Latin American modernism along with contemporary design,’ says Grajales.
