Art Exhibition in Bogotá

Things to do in Bogotá this long weekend: over 100 free works to visit
The exhibition brings together pieces by masters such as Fernando Botero, Débora Arango, Emma Reyes, Beatriz González, Alejandro Obregón, David Manzur, and Lucy Tejada, among others. Bogotá is experiencing its last long weekend before the holiday season, so many are starting to look for different ways to break from their routine without going too far or spending too much. The city, always diverse and ever-changing, becomes a showcase of cultural, gastronomic, and recreational activities that work for both those who enjoy tranquility and those who prefer something more lively.

The options range from artisan fairs in different neighborhoods to food tours and outdoor activities. However, one of the plans that has attracted the most attention this weekend is related to art, especially for those looking for a different experience that is also completely free.

Art Exhibition in Bogotá: Over 100 Free Works to Visit
One of the recommendations for this long weekend is to visit the exhibition open to the public at Bogotá Auctions, showcasing over one hundred works of modern and contemporary Colombian and Latin American art. The exhibition, located at Calle 70 # 10A – 59, is free and open Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The exhibition features pieces by masters such as Fernando Botero, Débora Arango, Emma Reyes, Beatriz González, Alejandro Obregón, David Manzur, and Lucy Tejada, among others. These representative works from the 20th and 21st centuries will be auctioned on Thursday, November 20th, but can be viewed free of charge these days, including through the virtual tour available on the official website. According to Charlotte Pieri, director of Bogotá Auctions, this edition highlights unique works: from Alipio Jaramillo's "Ronda con niño" (Round with Child) and Hernando Tejada's "Vendedor de peinillas" (Comb Vendor)—which was featured in the 1950 Venice Biennale—to pieces by Obregón, Manzur, Feliza Bursztyn, Luis Caballero, and Carlos Rojas. There is also conceptual art, sculptures, and recent works by contemporary artists.

It's an ideal plan for those looking for a cultural break, a break from routine, and a chance to see historical pieces of the country up close without spending a penny.
