Pinta Art Show annually exhibits modern and contemporary artworks from Latin American artists in international settings. Based in New York City, the art fair also travels to London, allowing visitors, galleries, artists, collectors, curators, and cultural institutions to strengthen their existing knowledge and develop new connections with the Latin American art world. Pinta features works by both emergent and established visual artists. Art pieces range in diversity from concrete, neo-concrete, and kinetic to conceptual and abstract.
Background
Pinta New York takes place in New York City every year; its first exhibition occurred in 2007. The show coincides with Christie's and Sotheby's Latin American art auctions as well as several major exhibitions in museums and cultural institutions during the month of November. This art fair was the first to focus solely on Latin American artists to be held in New York City.
Pinta London premiered from 3–6 June 2010 at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, featuring approximately 50 galleries from the Americas and Europe.
As of 2007, Pinta is headed by Diego Costa Peuser, Alejandro Zaia and Mauro Herlitzka. Diego Costa Peuser, the Fair Director, is currently the publisher of Arte al Día Internacional magazine, and he is also the director of the arteaméricas fair in Miami and of Buenos Aires Photo. Chairman Alejandro Zaia is also Chair of Conexion PR/ZCM, a public relations firm based in Miami and South America. Mauro Herlitzka, Pinta's Institutional Director, is the current President of Fundación Espigas.
