The art world continues its unprecedented expansion in 2015, with bigger fairs, higher sales, and more exciting talent. But despite the
abundance of new ways to show, sell, and discover art, galleries remain at the epicenter of this constantly changing scene. A special
summer issue of Modern Painters (http://artinfo.com/tags/modern­painters­0), which will be published in installments on ARTINFO
this month, surveys the best of them, across six continents and 36 countries. Throughout the issue you’ll also hear from 50 of the most
influential gallery owners and directors, discussing their achievements and envies, the artists they have their eye on, and the regional
trends affecting this increasingly international market. Below you’ll find the list of the best galleries of Latin America in 2015. To read
