Sponsored by our main sponsor, the EFG Latin America Art Award, now in its fourteenth edition, is designed to support the production of emerging Latin American artists. Their work is pre-selected by a jury at contemporary art fairs across Latin America throughout each year.
Leila Tschopp is a renowned Argentine artist known for her exploration of expanded painting, playing with the boundaries between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality. Her award-winning piece at arteBA 2024, presented by HACHE Contemporary Art Gallery, is part of the "Inhuman Painting" series.

The award aims to promote the production of visual arts from the continent and regional fairs among international collectors. During 2024, the fairs where the pre-selection took place were SP Arte, São Paulo; Pinta Lima, Lima; arteBA, Buenos Aires; and ArtBo, Bogotá. The acquisition was selected and announced at Pinta Miami 2024. EFG acquired a representative artwork from the winning artist, which became part of the EFG Capital collection in Miami.
