The Sea in Your Mind, 2024, is the artist’s most
significant exploration of monumental bronze to date.
Like much of the artist’s best work, it entwines the
sublime and the surreal, the human and the animal,
the realistic and the symbolic. The final product is
staggering both in beauty and scale, the romantic
encapsulation of the past three decades of a
remarkable career.
In 2024, Master Roberto Fabelo (b. 1950), widely
regarded as one of the foremost visual artists in the
Americas, was honored with the Knight's Cross of
the Order of Isabel la Católica, among the highest
cultural distinctions bestowed by the Spanish government.
Though the artist has much to be proud of, his acceptance
speech was characteristically humble: “Visual artists tend
to speak more with images than with words. If I had
to sum it up, it would be in one word: thanks.”

signed, inscribed and dated right WLAM, St. Gallen 1 Oct 1978.

Provenance:

Acquired by a Private Collector in Miami Beach, Florida.
In 1978, Wifredo Lam spent time in St. Gallen,
Switzerland, recovering his health after having
suffered a stroke. Lam, the inveterate painter, found
time and energy to produce a repertoire of works on
heavy paper, brilliantly executed with bravado and
resolve, as if defying the inevitable end. The artist
turned over these artworks to the Erker Galerie in
St. Gallen, by then one of the well-known and
prestigious exponents of modernism in Europe.
The galerie, run by Franz Larese and Jürg Janett,
exemplified the advancement of artistic moments
in direct dialogue with leading intellectuals and
writers of distinction. The circle of leading artists
and intellectuals associated with Erker Galerie,
which also ran a publishing house, is legendary,
from Martin Heidegger, Eduardo Chillida, Die Kunst,
Halldór Laxness, Asger Jorn, Joseph Brodsky, Antoni
Tàpies, and others. Wifredo Lam had deposited his
last artistic hurrah in great hands.
