Provenance: Center for Inter-American Relations Art Gallery, New York, ca. 1970; Private Minnesota Collection.
Lot Essay:
Alejandro Obregon was born in Spain but spent the majority of his life in Columbia. His early years were spent in Barranquilla, Columbia as well as Liverpool, England. His early artistic career was influenced by Picasso, Goya, and Graham Sutherland. While he was influenced by European artists, his subject matter often focused on Andean imagery including condors, guitars, and bulls.
In the 1950s, he became associated with a period of artistic renewal in Columbia. Five artists, dubbed the "Big Five," came to be icons of this time. They included Obregon, Enrique Grau, Fernando Botero, Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar, and Edgar Negret.
Height: 8 1/2 in x width: 11 in.
