We mourn the passing of one of the leading figures in Latin American culture. With her tireless efforts and infectious enthusiasm, Virginia Pérez-Ratton helped to shape the art scene of a region and project it beyond Central America to all of the earth’s continents.
TEOR/ética, the arts and culture platform she founded in San José, Costa Rica, not only did credit to its name but managed within a few years to become a well-respected institution in the international art world.
The cultural world has lost a great champion and one of its true cosmopolites. We will honour Virginia’s memory and hope that we may in future continue to reap the fruit of her life’s work.
