Mañana es FORMA.

Una subasta de arte contemporáneo por la educación, hecha con muchísima generosidad de los artistas, con y con la convicción de que el arte también puede (y debe) ponerse en acción.

Ojalá mañana veamos muchas paletas levantadas: cada puja es una manera concreta de apoyar una beca universitaria completa y de cerrar el círculo entre arte, comunidad y educación.

Si nunca has participado en una subasta, este es un gran momento para empezar.

Hay obras de distintos precios, formatos y lenguajes. No necesitas experiencia previa: solo curiosidad y ganas de sumarte.

📍 Galería Andrea Pozzo, Universidad Iberoamericana
🕕 Martes 3 de febrero | 6:00 p.m.
📝 Registro y catálogo: link en bio

Gracias a y a por hacerlo posible, y a todas las personas que mañana estarán ahí, levantando la mano y sosteniendo este proyecto.

Nos vemos mañana 💥

“Mi línea de trabajo se basa en el estudio de la memoria y su relación con la creación artística, concretamente a través del estudio de la posmemoria. La práctica de la posmemoria, o memoria adquirida, es común entre las generaciones posteriores a un conflicto en las que los hijos o nietos de individuos que experimentaron traumas personales, colectivos y culturales “heredan recuerdos” que se les transmiten afectivamente a través de historias, imágenes, objetos y comportamientos”. Javier Areán () ✨🛸

Al respecto de esta serie, el artista dijo:

“En 2024 pude visitar la réplica de la cueva de Chauvet. Admirar las pinturas parietales en su justa dimensión y ambiente me impresionó tanto que volví a la región para caminar durante horas adentrándome en las gargantas del río Ardèche y pintar del natural el paisaje que hace 30,000 años habitaron quienes inventaron el arte de la pintura”.

Some drawings whisper. This one shouts.

There’s nothing tentative here. Just a face, caught in the act of rising—or resisting. Drawn with fierce certainty and explosive line, this sketch by David Alfaro Siqueiros delivers a visceral punch. It carries the unmistakable charge of a study for something larger: a mural, a monument, a revolution-in-progress.

Siqueiros, a master of scale and drama, rarely did anything quietly. Even his sketches are declarations. This one, rendered in fast, slashing graphite, feels like a frozen gesture: mouth set, jaw locked, eyes turned upward—in hope, defiance, or both.

The drawing crackles with energy. You can almost hear the scratch of the pencil, the urgency of its making. But it’s not just a technical feat. It’s psychological. The exaggerated upward gaze, the tilted chin, the monumental perspective—they create a feeling of aspiration, of struggle, of someone looking past their present.

There’s no need to pin it down to a specific mural or date. It stands on its own, full of intensity and character. It reminds us that sometimes, a single line can carry the weight of a whole movement.

Trained under Spanish Civil War exiles, Juan Carlos del Valle’s work draws on the lush, tactile legacy of the Spanish School—thick impastos, luminous surfaces, and an almost sculptural sense of form. His practice is rooted in painterly rigor and a devotion to the medium that feels both classical and defiantly contemporary.

In this new series, he pushes the medium further: each canvas is a sensuous, weighty object—and a subtle commentary. These paintings reflect on what we value (and what we’ve forgotten to). Del Valle has earned deep institutional respect, with numerous museum exhibitions and publications to his name.

A rare combination of painterly force and thoughtful intent!

Soy una obsesionada de la pintura. Lo fui desde que estudiaba Historia del Arte, cuando el arte conceptual dominaba las conversaciones y las clases, y acercarse a la pintura contemporánea —sobre todo hecha por mujeres— parecía un acto de rebeldía. Fue entonces cuando conocí el trabajo de .lara

Años más tarde, ya en el mundo de las subastas, me emocioné muchísimo al encontrarme con una obra de Magali en persona por primera vez.

Durante la pandemia, la invité a participar en “Arte que sana”, un proyecto que buscaba visibilizar y apoyar la labor de los médicos y enfermeras que estaban en la primera línea de respuesta. Magali, con la generosidad y amabilidad que la caracterizan, aceptó sin dudar.

Estoy muy contenta de verla reconocida como se merece: con la exposición "Magali Lara. Cinco décadas en espiral" en el

Felicidades, Magali 💕

🖼️ Apparently, last Monday was International Art Historian’s Day — and, as luck would have it, I happen to be one.

Here’s a rare photo of me doing what I do best: pondering life, beauty, and the ineffable mysteries of art (or maybe just trying to remember where I put my keys — who’s to say?).

Being an art historian isn’t always glamorous — it’s quite misunderstood and does not involve lounging in front of masterpieces as much (tragically). More often, it’s just me, a computer and a stack of books.

But it is endlessly rewarding, forever stimulating, often thrilling and at the heart of it, a love letter to humanity’s creativity across time.

Of all the things I’ve doubted in life, my passion for art has never wavered. It’s been my compass, my curiosity, and my chosen way of engaging with the world.

So here’s to the weird, wonderful job of reading life through art. Here’s to the thinkers, the researchers, the catalogue-makers, the underliners, the footnote fanatics, the beauty-chasers. 🥂

Did you know that well-documented provenance can significantly impact an artwork’s value and desirability? 🧩

For collectors, provenance isn’t just about ownership — it can link a work to prestigious collections, museum exhibitions, and key moments in art history.

🔎 Let’s take a closer look at what provenance is, how it's recorded, and why it's a vital factor in evaluating and acquiring art.

Pedro Galarza Durán may not be a household name, but his paintings — with thick brushstrokes and soft light — hold a quiet power that speaks to the essence of a forgotten Mexico.

There’s a particular thrill in rediscovering artists like him: those whose work has shaped the visual landscape but remain tucked away in the corners of art history. It’s a joy to unearth their stories and share their brilliance.

This carousel is a small tribute to the creamy impastos and golden light that bring his work to life.✨

Every object has a story — of hands, history, and heritage. Today we spotlight the importance of tracing an artwork’s origin to protect cultural legacy and authenticity. Happy International Provenance Day! ✨
