On Friday, March 26, the premier art fair of the Americas – arteaméricas – kicks off, and in addition to viewing works from some of today’s leading Latin American artists, show-goers will also have an opportunity to enjoy rarely-seen works by one of the region’s most acclaimed artists as part of a special exhibit presented by EPIC Residences.
WHO: Arteaméricas attendees and avid art followers will be treated to a high-end collection of rarely-seen works by renowned Chilean Surrealist, Roberto Matta as part of the event’s first-ever EPIC Residences VIP Lounge. Curated by Miami-based Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts Gallery, the Matta display at the EPIC VIP Lounge will feature several works by the artist from the period 1985 to 1994. Worth nearly $400,000 in total, the works, which have not been on public display in some time, include oil on canvas, mixed media on paper, and lithographs.
WHY: EPIC’s VIP Lounge display of works by Matta is designed to celebrate the famed artist and showcase his distinctive modern style in an intimate and relaxed setting. In addition to the pieces by Matta on display at the VIP Lounge, another Matta piece – Overamen, is featured at EPIC Residences, as part of its 100-piece, $2 million, museum-quality art collection on display throughout the property, creating an artistically inspired, modern urban lifestyle reflective of the sophisticated style and design essence of EPIC’s exterior and interior spaces.
