UNITED KINGDOM---After gaining international recognition as a successful society portraitist in Madrid, Claudio Bravo moved to New York for a short period in which he held multiple exhibitions. The Claudio Bravo Collection: From the Artist’s Studio and Home, Morocco takes place on 13 July at Christie’s South Kensington, and presents a unique opportunity to acquire the fine and decorative art that belonged to and inspired the late Chilean artist. Claudio Bravo (1936-2011) was, until his death, arguably the most prestigious Chilean painter of his time. A hyperrealist who was heavily influenced by Renaissance and Baroque artists, Bravo is best known for his still life paintings, portraits and series of tied packages. He also made drawings, lithographs, engravings and small sculpture. [link]
