Julio Larraz, known as one of Latin America’s most influential art figures, has garnered institutional recognition and plaudits from both colleagues and young painters from across globe for his masterful harnessing of technique, color and light, along with the poetry and subtlety of his pieces. This exhibition is Larraz’s first museum retrospective, representing all mediums and key time periods of his life and work, from his early days as a caricaturist for major newspapers and magazines, to later drawings, paintings and sculptures
In December 2021, the museum hosted an Art Basel event called a Brunch with the Artist and Book Launch, where light bites and mimosas where served, and Larraz’s most recent and comprehensive book, of the same title, was launched.
