- Lot Description
Alfredo Castaneda (Mexican, 1938-2011), "Jugar a la Vida" 1990. Signed, dated, titled, and numbered (44/50) in pencil below the image. A limited edition original lithograph in colors. Created in his entrancing Surrealistic style, Castaneda's composition features the head of a bearded, wiry haired man - the subject of several of his works - lying upon what appears to be a bed with white sheets below his visage. Where his body should be, the covers turn dark, and there is an 'opening' through which one sees the crimson red color of blood with a long ladder extending upward from it and a sinuous green snake slithering downward. The man's mature visage is one of experience, reflection, consternation, introversion, and melancholy. All is set against a green ground adorned by a cloverleaf pattern, and the lithograph floats upon a red backing that complements the red opening in the image. Casteneda was an avid reader of mystical texts that fueled his imagination and provided inspiration for his art which continues a longstanding Mexican engagement with Surrealism. Size: 22.25" L x 15.125" W (56.5 cm x 38.4 cm); 25.75" L x 18.375" W (65.4 cm x 46.7 cm) framed
Born in Mexico City, Alfredo Castaneda received his degree in architecture from the University of Mexico in 1964 and had his first solo exhibition at the Galeria de Arte Mexicano in 1969. His surrealist works are in elite museum collections in Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Japan. A retrospective of Castaneda's art was held at the Monterrey (Mexico) Museum in 1990, and a monograph about his oeuvre was published that year as well.
Provenance: private Southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
