New York City has a big Venezuelan population – over 10,000 people – but it is a community that has lacked representation in the arts. Finally, the Modern Museum of Art is paying homage to the Venezuelan roots of modernism by featuring works by the painter Alejandro Otero as part of the its exhibit, “New Perspectives in Latin American Art, 1930–2006: Selections from a Decade of Acquisitions.” Visitors can catch Otero’s eye-catching abstract collages at MOMA from November 21st to February 25th. Special gallery lectures are available on Thursdays and Fridays.
