Pearl and Stanley Goodman Latin American Collection and Recent Acquisitions from the Museum’s Latin American Collection will be on view at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, May 8, through December 5. These pieces bring together some of the most important modern and contemporary Latin American artists over the last 100 years.
This major exhibition mirrors the diverse Hispanic landscape of South Florida with influential artists from Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Guatemala, Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, El Salvador and Brazil represented among the works on view.
Acclaimed Fort Lauderdale art collectors Pearl and Stanley Goodman began their collection of Latin American modernists in the 1980s. Pearl, a retired educator, explores “different periods by each artist” she collects. Stanley, an artist and retired cardiologist, tends to “emphasize the academic merit of the work.” Together, they have built an impressive collection that includes masters such as Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Joaquín Torres García, José Clemente Orozco and Wifredo Lam.
Complementing the Goodman collection are works by Latin American contemporary artists from the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale’s collection. Featured artists include Puerto Rican photographer and Miami Beach resident Carlos Betancourt, Cuban-born artist Ernesto Oroza, Mexican photographer Dulce Pinzón, Salvadorian painter Benjamín Cañas and Argentine painter Guillermo Kuitca.
