“If Hurtado was ever bothered by the fact that she worked in obscurity for much of her life, she didn’t show it. ‘She never expressed any bitterness,’ said King, ‘at least not publicly or, to me, in private.’

“In a conversation with artist Andrea Bowers in Ursula magazine in 2019, Hurtado addressed the issue of her late recognition: ‘I don’t feel anger, I really don’t. I feel, you know: ‘How stupid of them.’ Maybe the people who were looking at what I was doing had no eye for the future and, therefore, no eye for the present.’”

Rest in power Luchita Hurtado. My obit here.

Another staff pick for Hispanic History Month: 'Luchita Hurtado' — an oral autobiography and scrapbook of the amazing life of American painter Luchita Hurtado, from Venezuela to Los Angeles via Surrealism, magical realism and countless key art scenes of the 20th century in between — from @hauserwirth⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Over the course of her long and rich life, Venezuelan-born American painter Luchita Hurtado created a stunning body of work that only received the widespread attention it deserves toward the end of her life. In her paintings, Hurtado moved seamlessly between modernism and Surrealism, taking inspiration from South American weavings and her passion for environmentalism.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This handsome volume celebrates Hurtado’s life and work in her own words through a conversation with @hansulrichobrist along with an abundance of never-before-seen photographs and artworks, such as self-portraits and erotic drawings. Along the way we learn of her early life in New York City, her emergence as a painter, her life with her husbands Daniel de Solar, Wolfgang Paalen and Lee Mullican, and a whole cast of artists from Leonora Carrington and Isamu Noguchi to her son Matt Mullican.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Introduction and interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist. Afterword by Manuela Wirth. Edited by Karen Marta.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #luchitahurtado #hispanichistory #hispanichistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSQknDleTm/?utm_medium=tumblr

We will miss 'Luchita Hurtado,' who has died at the age of 99. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "Life with my mother has always been enlightening," her son, the artist Matt Mullican writes in 'I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn' (shockingly the first monograph on the artist, which came out in December 2019). "She has always engaged us in a world that lays beyond the world that we see around us."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #luchitahurtado https://www.instagram.com/p/CD35MjtJCyI/?igshid=ygbu2jj1gwqp
