Provenance: it was acquired directly from the artist by the current owner in New York during the 1990s. Dimensions of the clay sculpture: H. 10 cm . x W. 13 cm x D. 11 cm Dimensions of the box: H. 29 cm . x W. 40 cm x D. 23 cm. MIGUEL ANGEL RÍOS (b. 1943, Argentina/Lives in New York and Mexico) "...I make visible the violent moment in which we live, where we feel that life has no value. It is competition, power, violence, and chaos. The viewer may choose to identify with the powerful or with the vulnerable..." Miguel Angel Ríos studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires before moving to New York in the 1970s to escape the military dictatorship in Argentina. He subsequently relocated to Mexico and now divides his time between the U.S. and Mexico. In his work, Ríos pairs a rigorous conceptual approach with a meticulously constructed, often handmade aesthetic. Since the 1970s, he has made work about the concept of the "Latin American," using this idea as both an artistic strategy and a political problem. In the 1990s, he began creating a series of maps, which he carefully folded and pleated by hand. Marking the 500th anniversary of the "discovery" of the Americas, the maps indicate long histories of power and colonial experience, and they reference traditional indigenous arts in the Americas, including the Andean quipu. Since the early-2000s, Ríos has also delved into the medium of video to create symbolic narratives about human experience, violence, and mortality. His videos of spinning tops--trompos--use the childhood game of tops as a backdrop for a meditation on the transience of life and the mechanics of power. In his 2012 Untitled video from The Ghost of Modernity, Ríos references high Modernism--with direct nods to John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, and Donald Judd--in the midst of the Mexican desert. "Is this ghostly geometric figure a lens through which the world can be reinterpreted?" the artist asks. "Or is it the paradigmatic principle of modernist thought that organizes the world around it? Are we inside or outside the cube?"

Miguel Ángel Ríos nació en Catamarca, localizado al norte de Argentina. Una comunidad alejada tanto geográfica como culturalmente de la eurocéntrica Buenos Aires. Diferencia reflejada en su acercamiento al arte. Estudió en la Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes en Buenos Aires antes de mudarse a Nueva York, donde llegó en los años 70 huyendo de la dictadura militar argentina. Posteriormente se estableció en México y ahora divide su tiempo entre Estados Unidos y nuestro país. En su trabajo, Ríos integra un acercamiento conceptual riguroso junto con una estética manual meticulosamente construida. Desde los años 70 ha trabajado alrededor del concepto de lo "latinoamericano" utilizando dicha idea como estrategia artística y como problema político. Ha tenido exposiciones individuales en el Museo Carrillo Gil en la ciudad de México, en el Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, Maison Européenne de la Photographie MEP en París, The Art Museum de la Universidad de Houston, entre otras. También ha participado en exposiciones grupales como la Bienal de Liverpool en 2011 y en la de Sydney en 2010. Fuente consultada: SALUM, Rose Mary. "Miguel Ángel Ríos o la vibración de la materia".
