Pedro de Oraá (1931–2020) stands among the foundational figures of Latin American modernism. As a co-founder of Los Diez Pintores Concretos, the revolutionary Cuban abstract movement of the 1950s, de Oraá championed a radical new visual order—one rooted in geometric clarity, structural purity, and an unwavering belief in the power of abstraction to express intellectual and political freedom.
His practice, spanning over six decades, resisted ornament in favor of essential form. Despite years of marginalization under Cuba’s political regime, his contributions have been revalidated by major institutions, affirming his role as a critical voice in the global history of abstraction. FRONT ROW honors Pedro de Oraá as a master of form—and a defiant architect of modern Latin American identity.
De Oraá’s legacy is now fully cemented. With recent recognition from institutions like Museo Reina Sofía, The Getty, and beyond, his market value has seen a notable rise. For collectors building serious postwar or Latin American holdings, acquiring de Oraá is an opportunity to anchor a collection with a name whose cultural and historical relevance continues to expand—and whose scarcity only amplifies demand.
