With 70 paintings and five sculptures, the Venezuelan artist Oswaldo Vigas’ exhibition opens today, including works from 1943 to 2013 with prices ranging from US$ 50,000 to US$ 250,000.

The people of the capital city will be able to view the complex and unique exhibition by Vigas, who died in 2014, until next August 23rd at the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (MAMBO), bringing his oldest works, such as Tetragramista, Ciudadano Elector, and Composición IV, made in 1943.

“It is an exhibition of all of my father’s artistic creative periods. He started painting when he was 13 years old and many of his works were very controversial for the artistic establishment of Venezuela, such as the Brujas series, very different from the academic painting of the time. However, many people valued these works and that led him to win major prizes when he still was very young”, said Lorenzo Vigas, son of the artist.

Among the most recent works by Vigas that can be seen, we have Maternidad con Pájaro and Crucifixión, made in 2013.
