This event has ended.

Leon Tovar Gallery will present a one-man show of the Colombian artist Edgar Negret to inaugurate the new space. Negret is considered the first to bring modern abstract sculpture to Colombia; and through his metal sculptures, he established much of the artistic identity of the country. By displaying the works of Edgar Negret in the New York industrial building, the gallery aims to revisit the sculptor’s work in relation to his time in New York, where he was once praised, but then forgotten about upon his return to Colombia. Both of his stays in the city were fundamental to the genesis of his style and his growth as an artist. From a historical standpoint, his various trips to New York were not only key to his artistic development, but also contributed to the various artistic circles of which he was a part. His work is a singular symbiosis of pure geometrical research, with an omnipresent reference to spirituality within the visible modern world.
