Arnaldo Coen (1940) is one of the
most prominent Mexican artists. As a result of his restless,
transgressive and irreverent creativity, his work has never ceased to be
fresh.
He has made important individual exhibits in the Museum of
Modern Art and in the National Hall of the Palace of Fine Arts. His
work has been exhibited in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America,
featuring in important collections and exhibitions in different cultural
venues such as the Museum of Modern Art, Tlatelolco Cultural Center,
Museum of Contemporary Art, Isidro Fabela Cultural Center, Museum of
Mexican Art in Chicago and the Bank of Mexico, to name a few. This award
winning artist has also been the focus of several recognised art
critics such as Octavio Paz, Raquel Tibol, Carlos Monsivais, Juan Garcia
Ponce, Salvador Elizondo, Teresa del Conde, Sigrunn Paas, Josephine
Siller.
Arnaldo Coen is the first
monograph covering the artist's pictorial and sculptural works from the
1960s to date, with some 300 images complementing this contemporary,
provocative and irreverent compendium of Coen's legacy.
