About the Artist:
Manuel Felguérez (1928–2020) was a trailblazing figure in Latin American art, widely regarded as one of the founders of abstract art in Mexico. He was a member of the “Generación de la Ruptura,” a movement that challenged the dominance of traditional muralism in Mexican art. Felguérez’s work spans painting, sculpture, and public art, often characterized by his use of industrial materials and geometric abstraction. His works are held in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City. This carousel sculpture reflects his unique ability to blend modernist influences with playful, folk-inspired designs.
