This year I visited Artbo in Bogotá for the second time. The fair and the program around it were at least as strong as in 2013. More attention was given to younger, upcoming artists (not represented by a gallery yet). A novelty was the section Referentes, in which a more museological approach was chosen to present art from the 40’s until the mid 80’s . For an impression of the fair, see below some photos I made. 

One of the artists I keep a close eye on, Rita Ponce de León. Represented by 80m2 from Lima and by Ignacio Liprandi, based in Buenos Aires.
