概要
In 1980, at a Sotheby's auction, an Argentine woman raised her hand and paid six point four million dollars for a single canvas — a world record for any painting ever sold at auction. The country she came from was four years into a military dictatorship, still counting its disappeared. Why would the woman who had just inherited a cement company in the darkest year of Argentina's history choose that exact moment to announce herself through a Turner?
In this episode, we trace Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat's path from inheriting Loma Negra in 1976 to building a private empire and a public museum, asking what a person does with accumulated power once they can see its edge approaching.
Person: Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Date: 1980
Case: the record-price purchase of Turner's Juliet and Her Nurse
Status: the painting now hangs in the Fortabat Art Collection, a free public museum in Puerto Madero
- She inherited Loma Negra in 1976, the year of the military coup, becoming its nearly sole owner, president, and chairperson in her mid-fifties
- The Turner purchase of 6.4 million dollars in 1980 set a world record for any painting sold at auction
- In 1992 she acquired a 65 percent stake in the privatized Ferrosur Roca railway and broke ground on Loma Negra's Catalinas Norte headquarters
- In 1997 she publicly objected, via a paid newspaper advertisement, to her own foundation's literary prize winner, The Anatomist by Federico Andahazi, while still paying the 15,000-dollar award
- She sold her 80 percent stake in Loma Negra to Camargo Correa for just over one billion dollars in May 2005, at age 83, and opened the Fortabat Art Collection museum, designed by Rafael Viñoly, in October 2008
