Zona Maco Louis Stern Fine Arts Booth AM104 | Centro Banamex Mexico City
February 4 – 8, 2026
Louis Stern Fine Arts is delighted to announce the gallery’s return to Zona Maco with a presentation highlighting its 20th century program. On view are historically significant master works, created between 1932 – 2001, by a selection of estate artists represented by the gallery.
Paintings, carved reliefs, and works on paper by Karl Benjamin (1925-2012), Ynez Johnston (1920-2019), Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999), Doug Ohlson (1936-2010), Anita Payró (1897-1980), Alfredo Ramos Martínez (1871-1946), and Frederick Wight (1902-1986) showcase the philosophical and aesthetic inquiries that served as the foundations of these artists’ practices. The presentation calls particular attention to their use of consonance and form, appealing to both the real and the abstract in pursuit of creating quiet, intimate spaces in the mind. Anita Payró’s geometric forms capture light from the sky in transparent layers, playing against the chiaroscuro of Helen Lundeberg’s serene allusions to nature and interior spaces. Karl Benjamin’s condensed landscape invites conversation of sub-surface depth, as Frederick Wight conjures a terrestrial eruption triggered by powerful, unseen forces. Doug Ohlson’s paintings consider the topsy-turvy folding of nature through timeless geometric forms. Ynez Johnston’s peculiar inscriptions narrate a recursive dreamworld of faraway ideals. Selected late works by Alfredo Ramos Martínez capture moments of quiet reflection and camaraderie in the midst of hardship, longing, and restless anticipation. |
