- Lot Description
Jorge Gonzalez Camarena (Mexican, 1908-1980), "Muchachas Celebrando un Rito Magico"-1966, oil on canvas, verso of canvas signed, dated and inscribed with title, remnant of vintage typed label on stretcher upper left with title, medium, and size, upper left reading "GALERIA DE ARTE". Modern figural painting (possibly a preparatory work) depicting a mystical scene with standing abstracted nude figures holding glass bottles and orbs, reclining female nude in foreground in rich earth tones including coral, crimson red, peach, and burnt ochre tones with green and blue highlighting. Framed approximately 30.5" x 34.5". Unframed approximately 22" x 25.75". Note: Gonzalez Camarena is best known for his murals which he began creating in 1939. Six of the murals still remain. This work, like many of this others, depicts a mystical theme. His striking use of color and composition (deemed by him as "cuadratismo" or "harmonic geometry") creates a strong image with dynamism in color rather than form. The artist died in 1980 of a brain hemorrhage after receiving a number of accolades for his work including the National Prize for Arts and Sciences from Mexico in 1970.

As such, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery is not responsible for any omissions or errors to these condition reports. It is important to note that the absence of a condition report does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. Prior to bidding, please consult the additional photos provided and ask all pertinent questions (i.e. condition, size, etc.).

For additional photos, please email Photos@AandOauctions.com. Please note, Ahlers & Ogletree Auction Gallery sells items at a rate of approximately 80 to 100 lots per hour in a live auction setting. Since the auction moves quickly, online bidding platforms are,at times, unable to keep up with the pace. To avoid potential disappointment when bidding on an online platform, consider placing a realistic absentee bid in advance of the sale. Priority, in regards to bidding, goes to in-house floor bidders. Occasionally, the auctioneer may reject a live online bid and/or reopen a lot after the close of online bidding (typically due to a missed in-house floor bid). Due to this possibility, at times the online bidding platform will show an online bidder as the winning bid when they are not. All final winning bidders will be notified via invoicing from Ahlers & Ogletree typically by the Monday immediately following the sale. To bid with Ahlers & Ogletree as a phone or absentee bidder, please feel free to email us at bid@AandOAuctions.com. Lastly, please make sure to read over our firm's Terms and Conditions of Sale before bidding.
