Modern Museum of Art, Meet Venezuela

New York City has a big Venezuelan population – over 10,000 people – but it is a community that has lacked representation in the arts. Finally, the Modern Museum of Art is paying homage to the Venezuelan roots of modernism in the exhibit, “New Perspectives in Latin American Art, 1930–2006: Selections from a Decade of Acquisitions.” The exhibit features works (pictured here) by the Venezuelan painter Alejandro Otero (not to be confused with the former Mister Venezuela by the same name). Visitors can catch Otero’s eye-catching abstract collages at MOMA from November 21st to February 25th. Special gallery lectures are available on most Thursdays and Fridays.
