Dallas Art Fair 2020 (online)

The virtual room of Los Angeles’s Louis Stern Fine Arts is dominated by recent and historic geometric abstraction, including glowing works from the 1960s and ’80s by Helen Lundeberg and Doug Ohlson, respectively. But what truly stands out is a set of four pieces from the 1930s and ’40s by Alfredo Ramos Martínez, a towering figure in Mexican modernism. His distinctive work is featured in the Whitney Museum’s show “Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945” and the Dallas Museum of Art’s “Flores Mexicanas: Women in Modern Mexican Art”—two current (but now shuttered) museum exhibitions.

It makes sense that one of the marquee works of the fair would be this group portrait by Alfredo Ramos Martínez.
