Join August Uribe, renowned authority on Latin American Art, as he shares insight into Stanley and Pearl Goodman’s 40-year pursuit of exemplary works for their extensive collection. Mr. Uribe met Fort Lauderdale collectors Stanley and Pearl Goodman in 1998, when he was Director of Latin American Art at Sotheby’s, New York, during their semi-annual trips to New York tradition to visit galleries and attend the auctions at Sotheby’s, where he was Director of Latin American art, and Christie’s. The couple’s shared passion for Mexican culture and fine art forged a perfect partnership for the pursuit of works for the collection. The talk is presented in conjunction with the recent outstanding gift of the couple’s comprehensive collection of 88 works to NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale and the inaugural exhibition of this gift.
August Uribe
After graduating from Princeton University in 1985, August Uribe began his career in the fine arts as Curator of the Wray Collections, Scottsdale, Arizona. The Wray Collection included paintings and decorative arts in the fields of Pre-Columbian Art, Modern Mexican paintings, as well as Spanish Colonial art.
In 1987, Uribe became Assistant Director and the first full-time employee at Mary-Anne Martin/Fine Art, a gallery specializing in Modern Latin American Art in New York, where he was responsible for sales as well as expanding the gallery’s Latin American client base.
In 1991, Uribe joined Sotheby’s, where he was hired to reopen and direct the Latin American Art department. During his tenure there, August oversaw the first Latin American paintings to fetch over two million dollars, then three million dollars, and ultimately break the five-million-dollar mark.
In 1993, Uribe was appointed to the Advisory Board of the Mexican Cultural Institute of the Consul General of Mexico in New York. An active promoter of Latin American Culture, Uribe frequently gives lectures and serves as a panelist for round-table discussions for many of the world’s most prestigious institutions.
In addition to his work in the profit sector, Uribe has served on the Board of Directors for several non-profit institutions, including The Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; The Americas Society Gallery; and The Mexican Cultural Institute, Consul General, New York.
The Annual Stanley and Pearl Goodman Lecture in Latin American Art is named in recognition of the couple’s recent gift to NSU Art Museum of over 90 works by Latin American artists.
