One of the best known paintings by Olga Costa is The Fruit Seller, a colorful oil painting of a sturdy Indigenous vendor surrounded by baskets with more than 50 varieties of fruits and vegetables typical of Mexico: pineapple, mamey, sapotes, guanabanos, cherimoyas, bananas, watermelon, pears, pumpkins..... The work, a public commission that the artist received in 1951, which today belongs to the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City, is considered a reference of Mexican modernism and has even adorned the covers of first grade textbooks in the country. However, in Germany, the country where Costa was born, her work is still completely unknown. – Al Dià
