wifredo lam moma retrospective surrealism review 1234761241

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has opened a major retrospective of Afro-Cuban Surrealist painter Wifredo Lam, featuring over 200 works. The exhibition highlights Lam's masterpiece *Grande Composition* (1949), a 14-foot-wide painting recently acquired by MoMA after years of negotiation with a Paris collector. Curated by MoMA's new director Christophe Cherix and Beverly Adams, the show reexamines Lam's career, emphasizing his Afro-Cuban heritage and his use of hybrid figures like the femme-cheval, which reference Lucumí spiritual traditions.

cuban museum wont lend wifredo lam works to moma 1234752354

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has failed to secure loans from the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana for its upcoming Wifredo Lam retrospective, “When I Don’t Sleep, I Dream.” The Havana museum declined to lend works due to fears that artworks entering the United States could be seized by a US court as part of claims by Cuban exiles and others seeking compensation for property confiscated during the Cuban Revolution. The exhibition, curated by MoMA director Christophe Cherix and Latin American art curator Beverly Adams, will feature 150 artworks from the Afro-Cuban Surrealist’s life, including several rediscovered pieces, but without the Cuban museum’s contributions.
