The OAS AMA | Art Museum of the Americas announces Art of the Americas: Collection of the Art Museum of the Americas of the OAS
About this Event

Art of the Americas highlights 100 key pieces of the OAS AMA art collection, representing fundamental artistic trends that have developed in Latin America, including new figuration, geometric and lyrical abstraction, conceptual art, optical and kinetic art. Artists such as Cundo Bermúdez, Fernando de Szyszlo, Agustín Fernández, José Luís Cuevas, Alejandro Obregón, Raquél Forner, Rodolfo Abularach, Alfredo Da Silva, Ernesto Deira, and Jorge de la Vega had their first solo exhibitions in the United States in the Gallery of the Pan American Union, now the OAS. The art program outgrew its space, moving into the present-day AMA in 1976. The museum has provided valuable support throughout the years in the expansion of the academic field of modern and contemporary art of Latin America and the Caribbean in the United States. Today, AMA continues and expands this rich cultural trajectory with dynamic exhibitions and educational programs highlighting the art of all the countries of the Americas. AMA’s engagement of museums outside of the U.S. strengthens ties among all OAS member countries.

This catalog features three long-form essays on topics central to the exploration of the history of the OAS AMA art program, as well as entries on each of the 100 artworks, and biographies for each artist. There is a series of richly detailed color images for each artwork.

The selection and research teams for Art of the Americas consist of: Félix Ángel, Alejandro Anreus, Alessandro Armato, Cecilia Belej, Carol Damian, Ana Franco, María Gaztambide, Michele Greet, Olga Herrera, Maria Leyva, Abigail McEwen, Nadia Moreno, Adriana Ospina, and Mark White. The publishing, design, and photography teams consist of: Aram Asarian, Jill Bernstein, Jennifer Cardiff, Rafa Cruz, Catalina Echaurren, Greg Svitil, Camila Matta, and Adriana Ospina.
