It is unfortunate but that is Guatemala for you,little appreciation for their own culture. Same story, I acquired an Andres Curruchiche from the family in 1990. Have tried to get an evaluation by sheer curiosity, no response. I guess we will now be two to hang don Andres on our respective wall and let him fade away gracefully.

It’s amazing!!! I have an actual painting by one of the greatest Guatemalan artists, with perhaps only 100 out of a possible 200 paintings being known to exist, and there is barely any interest in it. I obtained the painting directly from a Curruchiche family member who still runs the gallery in Comalopa. Besides the painting itself, I have pictures, which can be cross referenced with the same living Curruchiche family member who had the painting on the wall of their home until the 1976 earthquake knocked it off. Parts of the painting are becoming more fragile and I would like to get it in a museum, but I get no response at all. It’s kind of disgusting if you ask me. Is this how the most famous Naife painter of Guatemala is respected? If I had an authentic painting from a European master then I would be swamped with offers. I have had it in storage, but maybe I’ll just put it on the wall and let that be the end of it.
