Later on Friday I stopped by the Jack Rutberg Gallery at 357 N. La Brea in L.A. He represents the family of Francisco Zuniga who lived from 1912 in Costa Rica until 1998 when he died in Mexico, his adopted country. He has been called "perhaps the best sculptor" of the Mexican political modern style. Francisco's father, Manuel, was also a sculptor. Below are some of the works for sale at the Rutberg Gallery. I talked to Jack and he was particularly excited to have obtained the granite, called Cartago Stone, sculpture below. It had been in a private collection until recently. It is called "Cabeza De Indio," (Head of an Indian) 1932. You can buy it for $160,000. It could be worth it...very moving.
The next paintings and sculptures are of his women for which he is famous.
