Expertise
Latin America has produced some of the most important artistic movements of the 20th and 21st centuries — from the monumental figuration of Colombian masters to the fiber-based abstraction that has reshaped how we think about materiality and craft.
With four decades of family gallery history and an extensive network across Colombia, the broader region, and the international market, David offers collectors access to both canonical and emerging voices. His advisory is rooted in firsthand relationships with artists, estates, and the institutional ecosystem that determines lasting value.
Whether you are acquiring a seminal work by an established master or identifying the next generation of artists defining the region, David provides the context, access, and judgment to collect with confidence.
