Andrés Blastein (Mexican Modern Art Collector), Gabriela Lobo (Director of Christie’s Mexico), Rodrigo Rivero Lake (Antiquarian), and Rafael Tovar López-Portillo (rector of Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana). Moderator: Alfonso Miranda (Curator of ZⓈONAMACO SALÓN DEL ANTICUARIO). In an art observatory, the so-called “antiques” have found a voice in their own right, where the symbolic value leads us to understand our cultural heritage. The object-salon has a solid presence in the hyper-contemporary world and in harmony by contrast, its dialogue with the current manifestations finds new knowledge that reinforce beauty’s value. SALÓN DEL ANTICUARIO turns ten years old and from ZⓈONAMACO we weave a conversation between collectors and cultural managers within the art market, to engage in a review of the object in its historical and museal dimensions, as well as its controversies of materials and meanings in political corrections times. All these works challenge the frontier between history, art, design and functionality.
