An exhibition of rarely seen works on paper by the visionary and reclusive artist Victor Magariños D. (1924-1993)
About
Cecilia Brunson Projects is excited to announce an exhibition of works on paper by Argentine artist Victor Magariños D. (1924–1993). This is the first exhibition of his work to take place in Europe since the artist’s death, and coincides with the announcement of the representation of the artist’s estate by Cecilia Brunson Projects.
Magariños represents an elusive and under-recognized chapter in the history of Latin American 20thcentury art, in part because of his highly reclusive artistic practice, as well as his unique set of interests and beliefs about art and abstraction. His career-long insistence that art is a parallel manifestation of theoretical science puts him alongside Georges Vantongerloo (an artist he recognized as a mentor), as well as other international figures of art history who imbued abstract form with cosmological meaning, such as Hilma af Klimt, Josef Albers, or Wassily Kandinsky.
