John Quesada/Mata Ortiz: Mexican Vase/Pottery

Latino Arts Project is proud to present a curated fine arts auction highlighting the exceptional artistry and cultural heritage of Latin American creators. At the heart of this auction is the renowned Juan Quezada Celado, whose revival of the ancient Paquimé pottery tradition established Mata Ortiz ceramics as a globally recognized art form. His distinctive hand-coiled vessels, painted with natural pigments and geometric precision, reflect a profound mastery of technique and cultural storytelling. This legacy continues through the Quezada Family, whose works blend tradition and innovation, further cementing their status as leading figures in contemporary ceramics. This auction also showcases a wide range of fine art objects across disciplines, including hand-hammered copper by Arturo Angel Punzo, whose repoussé craftsmanship elevates traditional metalwork into sculptural excellence. Helio Gutierrez contributes vibrant painted ceramics rich with indigenous symbolism and narrative forms, while Franco Design brings a contemporary edge through elegant, sculptural glassware that demonstrates refined modern craftsmanship. Together, these works reflect a shared dedication to material integrity, regional history, and artistic innovation. From collectible pottery and decorative vessels to artisan glass and copper forms, each piece embodies a balance of cultural depth and fine art sophistication. This is an opportunity to acquire handmade, museum-quality pieces that celebrate Latin American artistry and its enduring place within the global fine arts landscape.
