Felipe Ehrenberg

The unique work is from 1968, an important year in modern Mexican history, marked by the Summer Olympic Games and the Students' protests. Born in 1943, Ehrenberg was a conceptual artist closely associated with the Fluxus and los grupos movements. He created works in various mediums, such as mail art, performance, and installations, that explored state repression and politics in Mexico. Ehrenberg had traditional academic training in drawing and printmaking, as seen in Untitled, 1968. The work has two classical sculptures conveying order and calm, contrasting with the above faceless figures at the top, alluding to the many Desaparecidos (missing persons) during the Mexican Student Movement of 1968.
