Francisco Toledo - oil and sand on canvas sells for record price

Francisco Toledo, Mexican master and one of Mexico’s most effective and compassionate social activists recently passed away - September 5th 2019.

However, Toledo will not be forgotten. Earlier this month in Sotheby's impressionist and modern art day sale, an oil and sand on canvas by the artist titled A Meu Xubi, sold for a record price of 1,040,000 USD. The painting significantly exceeded the auctions estimate of 700,000 - 900,000 USD.

His legacy, I am sure, will recognize him as one of the great Mexican artists of all time.
