Conferencia — Leonora Carrington y Remedios Varo: colaboraciones mágicas, a cargo de Tere Arcq

The artistic collaboration between Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo forged a multifaceted blend of symbolic systems whose visionary power is only now beginning to be understood and appreciated. This lecture will explore the collaboration between these two artists, with a special emphasis on works from the Malba Collection. The lecture will feature an introduction by Anna Di Stasi—Senior Vice President and Director of Latin American Art at Sotheby's—who will discuss the recognition and appreciation of Latin American Surrealist women artists and their consolidation in the art market.
