A Celebration of Chilean Art
This fine collection of artworks by well-known Chilean artists was very generously donated to the Anglo Chilean Society by late Mrs Pola de Kadt-Valdivieso and Mr Emanuel de Kadt.
The intention behind the donation was that the artworks should be shown to the public before being sold to raise funds for the general purposes of the Society. Those purposes include bringing Chilean culture and artistic talent to the attention of the British public and giving financial help to worthy causes in Chile and, in particular, on Easter Island, which has been hard hit by two years of pandemic isolation.
The artworks will, by kind permission of the Chilean Ambassador, be on display at the Chilean Embassy between 09.30 and 17.30 on weekdays and until Friday the 20th of January, inclusive, with free admission.
The sale will be by the process of sealed bids as set out in the “Terms and Conditions” below.
Please note that the values given against each artwork are explained in the Terms & Conditions below
About the Collection
The artworks in this catalogue, and displayed in the exhibition at the Chilean Embassy, were collected over many years by a couple who sort out fine examples of the work of Chilean artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. The artworks are in many types of media from classic oils and water colours to pen and ink.
They show many different approaches and distinctive styles and showcase the visual arts from the classic vibrant Chilean landscapes of the 19th century to the contemporary, surrealist and abstract themes of more recent times.
For Chileans they bring to life memories of familiar landscapes and, wherever you stand on art, we hope that you may find something that suits your taste and that you enjoy in this fine collection. The Anglo Chilean Society aims to promote an understanding of Chile and its culture, and this display provides a marvellous opportunity to do so through Chilean art.
