PINTA 08



This year, PINTA's unique Museum Acquisition Program will make contributions to a main group of institutions in order to help them expand their collections of Latin American art. The invited museums include: Harvard Art Museum, El Museo del Barrio, New York, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), The Tate Modern, London, The Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA) and Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI).

PINTA 2008 will honor Peruvian artist Fernando Bryce. Bryce and art historian Miriam Basilio will officially start the PINTA festivities by participating in a conversation about authorship, historical legitimacy and the contradictions of modernity as a universal discourse on November 12 at 6:30 P.M. at the Americas Society (680 Park Avenue.)
