Then take the volume and develop it in space, demonstrate that the concept painting-relief-sculpture is obsolete, exhausted,that form-color is one within relative spaces”…….Manuel Felguerez

Manuel Felguerez was born in 1928 in Zacatecas, Mexico. He moved to Mexico City to study sculpture at the Academia de San Carlos and La Esmeralda School of Art. He began exhibiting in the early 1950’s in Paris and Mexico City and continues to exhibit worldwide today. Felguerez has taught for many years at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and was also a visiting professor at Cornell University. In 1976, he was Visiting Researcher at Harvard University, where he collaborated with other scholars on the use of computers in design. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim grant.
