For the fifth consecutive year, Merrill Lynch will present arteaméricas, the premier exhibition of Latin American artists, showcasing more than 300 renowned and emerging talents from 70 of the most prestigious art galleries of Latin America, the United States and Europe.

The exhibition will include paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations and videos ranging in price from $2,000 to more than a half-million dollars.
