The demand for Mexican modernist artists was strong at Christie’s 17 November Latin American Sale in New York, led by a group of paintings by Rufino Tamayo. His powerful and dramatic Pájaros, a work from the 1940s painted during the Second World War, realized $566,500. The 1940s were a great creative period for Tamayo, who captured the zeitgeist of a war-torn world through the visual metaphors that permeated his work. (RT: 1:51)
