The exhibition “History and Mystery: Latin American Art and Europe” is the most expansive exhibition of Latin American art in Estonia to date. This has been made possible through collaboration with The Phoebus Foundation in Antwerp, which owns one of the largest collections of Latin American art in Europe. The exhibition features art from two eras: the Spanish Colonial period, from the 17th to the 19th century, and the modernist art of the 20th century from Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The Kumu project space features seven paintings by Leonora Carrington from her Mexican period, which are characterised by her unique style and fanciful, symbolic imagery.
This is the first major exhibition of Latin American art in Estonia, featuring art from the Spanish Colonial period, as well as works by 20th-century artists from Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Mexico and Cuba.
