Rodolfo Nieto Red Bull Oil On Canvas
Est: -
Art measures 36W x 24H. Frame measures 44W x 32H. In good condition with wear commensurate with age. This comes with a C.O.A. From the estate of Alexander Goykhman. Rodolfo Nieto "Red Bull" Oil on Canvas, a striking and expressive composition rendered with bold geometric abstraction and a powerful visual presence. The stylized bull is constructed through segmented forms and layered shapes, outlined in strong lines that create structure and rhythm across the surface. Rich, saturated tones dominate the composition, with contrasting areas of texture and pattern adding depth and movement. The interplay of color and form gives the piece a dynamic, almost sculptural quality, while the balanced composition maintains a sense of control and intention. Housed in a complementary frame that enhances its visual impact, the work presents as both energetic and refined. Rodolfo Nieto was a prominent Mexican artist known for his distinctive blend of abstraction and figurative elements, often drawing on symbolic imagery and bold color palettes. His work reflects a modernist sensibility rooted in Mexican artistic traditions, earning recognition for its originality and expressive strength.

Rodolfo Nieto (1936-1985), No. 114, Oil on Canvas
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
Property of Jane Tucker-Radley Description: Rodolfo Nieto (Mexico/France, 1936-1985), No. 114, Oil on Canvas, 1961, signed lower left and further signed and dated 'Nieto, 1961-114' on the reverse, depicting abstracted shapes in tones of maroon, green, orange and chartreuse, in a slim giltwood frame. Frame size: 29 3/8 in. x 37 in. Provenance: Purchased from Galerie de France, Paris, 1965. Rodolfo Nieto was a Mexican painter of the Oaxacan school. Nieto studied at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado in Mexico City where he apprenticed under Diego Rivera. He had his first solo exhibition in 1959. While living and working abroad in Paris, Nieto was exposed to the work of Edward Munch and experimented in printmaking. He made deep ties in the Parisian artworld and worked alongside his friend and artistic influence Rufino Tamayo. He won the prize for painting at the Biennale de Paris in both 1963 and 1968. His work was not as well-received in his home country, but he worked obsessively alongside his wife before focusing on the Mexican tradition of skull art with a series of Calaveras paintings. Mexico City's Palacio de Cultura Banamex hosted a retrospective of Nieto’s work titled Imágenes latentes in 2010. Measurements: Height: by sight, 28 5/8 in. x Width: 36 1/4 in.
