Latin American Art

Christie’s Latin American Art Department offers exceptional works by Spanish Colonial and 19th-Century masters as well as modern and contemporary artists who reflect the vast range of artistic traditions and developments that define this diverse region. As the undisputable market leaders of Latin American Art, each season we achieve landmark prices and strong sell-through rates on behalf of all our clients. Our unrivalled success has led to our being the only international auction house to offer stand-alone Latin American Art sales.

Held at Christie’s flagship headquarters in New York, our bi-annual live sales (Spring and Fall) and online sales (Summer) have seen record prices realized for influential figures such as Diego Rivera, Wifredo Lam, Rufino Tamayo, Matta, Alfredo Ramos Martínez, Frida Kahlo and Fernando Botero, among others. With our broad global reach, we have seen participation from buyers and sellers from six continents and more than 40 different countries in recent years.

Our global team of specialists are unrivalled in their experience and expertise and are always available for free and confidential auction valuations or to discuss Private Sales.
