Beatriz González at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Following its premier at the Pérez Museum in Miami, the Beatriz González: A Retrospective arrives at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, through January 2020. This is the first large-scale exhibition of the artist’s work to be seen in the United States. Co-curated by Mari Carmen Ramírez, the Wortham Curator of Latin American Art and Director of the International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Tobias Ostrander, former chief curator of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Ramírez explains that “González, an internationally celebrated artist, is one of the few remaining from the “radical women” generation of Latin America. Born in 1938 and living in Bogota, Columbia, the artist’s groundbreaking production spans more than 60 years. González stood out from her contemporaries as one of the first painters in Colombia to use images from the mass media as inspirational material for her work, connecting her formal training (fine art and architecture) with common narratives.”
