| Virgen de Guadalupe Procession by Mexican Folk Art Master Guillermina Aguilar. Media: Clay. Size: 15 individual pieces measuring 3 1/2 to 4 inches. Origin: Ocotlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. Made in 2005. In mint condition. This 15 piece procession includes a 5 member musical band, 4 carriers of the Virgen de Guadalupe float and four shawled women in traditional dress (carrying flowers and large candles). Guillermina Aguilar is a well documented Master of Mexican Popular Art. Guillermina is the eldest of the Aguilar sisters of Ocotlan, Oaxaca. Guillermina's sisters are Josefina, Concepcion and Irene Aguilar. From an early age, the famed Aguilar sisters learned to make clay figures from their mother. Their work today is world famous and highly sought after by Folk Art Collectors. Guillermina, Josefina and Irene and Concepcion have transformed traditional clay making into new and magical forms. Their clay figures are exhibited widely in galleries and museums both in Mexico and abroad. Guillermina's work is illustrated in two important books on Mexican Folk Art:"Oaxacan Ceramics:Traditional Folk Art by Oaxacan Women" by Lois Wasserspring, Vicki Ragan (Photographer)and in the exemplary Banamex book:"Great Masters of Mexican Popular Art" (Banamex Collection Fomento Cultural). The art that comprises the extraordinary Banamex book is being exhibited throughout the world and was shown in New York City at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), in March 2003. This exhibition features more than 600 master works from all 31 states of the Mexican Republic, this exhibition offers a comprehensive view of the most exceptional contemporary folk art of Mexico. | ||
