Crossroads Art Show: New London Fair for Latin American Art
The Latin American art fair Pinta is undergoing a transformation and will now be known as Crossroads. The inaugural Crossroads Art Show is set to take place in London from October 7 to 9, 2016, at the Old Truman Brewery, coinciding with Frieze week. A total of fifty galleries from around the globe will take part. The artistic committee features notable figures such as Eva Ruiz, Pablo León de la Barra, and Fernando Bryce among others.
