The New York Times Includes Americas Society's Exhibition in Its Best Art of 2025 Write-Up
The newspaper says that Fanny Sanín: Geometric Equations, the first institutional survey of the artist in New York, was "optical joy."
Three Solo Surveys That Tell the Story
We tend to leave history-telling to museums, but there was evidence this season of how valuable, as chroniclers, galleries can be. [...]
I’ve encountered the work of the Bogotá-born artist Fanny Sanín many times, but never in a career-spanning solo show like the one at Americas Society last summer, her first institutional survey in New York, where she has lived and worked for more than 50 years. In two compact galleries, we saw her take a bold jump from gestural expressionism to geometric abstraction, and then from rectangular plainness to compositions that hint at architecture, textile patterns and devotional icons, all softened by a plush, dusky palette. The result: visual metaphors, optical joy...
The show, open from June 4, will highlight the Colombian artist six-decade career dedicated to geometric abstraction.
