It was a deal that would eventually lead to criminal charges against Rosa that could land him in jail for decades. As collectors from New York and Los Angeles climbed the stairs to OMR’s rooftop garden, scaling the brutalist edifice to take in the view of Roma and Condesa, the gallery’s owner, Cristobal Riestra, was taking Rosa around, showing off his the new addition to the artist roster. He was on the cusp of being represented by OMR, one of the most respected galleries in Roma, and finally he could return to the art world’s good graces after an auspicious debut that led to half a decade in which his works tanked at auction and dealers declined to offer shows. And in May 2019, Rosa opted to drive to the Venice Biennale opening from Switzerland.īut for Rosa, Mexico City was different. The previous October, Rosa had hosted a number of late-nights at his flat in Paris during FIAC. The serious dealers who assembled south of the border saw Rosa and assumed he had once again met the global art-party circuit at its latest port of call. In February 2020, the artist Christian Rosa flew to Mexico City for the Zona Maco art fair.
