Wynwood Magazine – The fair organizers’ intelligent initiative has been the creation of PINTA’s Museum Acquisition Fund, which provides resources allowing various institutions to augment their collections with the works of Latin American artists. Among the beneficiaries are: El Museo del Barrio, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of Modern Art, New York (MOMA); Blanton Museum of Art, Austin; Museo de Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA); and Museo de Arte de Lina (MALI). Additionally, during the inaugural ceremony on November 12, guests will be able to make donations benefitting the PINTA Research Fund for Latin American Art History Students at New York University.
With this new addition of PINTA, Latin American art is provided with a platform within the New York art scene. Furthermore, the exhibition serves to promote collectorship and the interest of the American public in the diversity and vitality that characterize this continent’s artistic creation.
