Contemporary Art Across the Americas
Art of the Americas is a platform created by curator and art-market specialist Jorge Sanguino. It presents critical perspectives on contemporary art from Latin America, with particular expertise in Colombian art and its connections to Europe and the international art world.
Together with the gallery wildpalms, we build bridges between Latin America and Germany. Through essays, criticism, podcasts and events, Art of the Americas examines the artists, institutions and economic structures shaping contemporary culture across the Americas.
