Agapito Labios (1898 - 1996) was active/lived in Mexico. Agapito Labios is known for Folk art figure painting. Born: 1898 - Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico Died: 1996 Name variants: Labios Agapito, Agipito Labios Agapito Labios: From jail cells to Sotheby's and Christie's: Mexican Artist Agapito Labios started his career from a jail cell. We take a look at his story and see how his work went from a jail cell to auctions at Sotheby's and Christie's. Labios' active role in the Mexican Revolution landed him in jail. It was here that he started painting on his jail cell wall. His works were spotted by the mayor of Pachuca, who ordered Labios to teach his two daughters, spurring Labios' career. Agapito went on to make a living out of his Folk art figure paintings. The artist's work is defined by his highly stylized portraits, often with children as the subjects in formal dress, with typical Mexican backgrounds such as farming fields and or town squares. Labios sold his work in La Lagunilla Market in Mexico City on Sundays, gaining him popularity and success. This led to Agapito opening his shop in Mexico City called Mercado de Artesanias at La Ciudadela, where his work was sought out by collectors and auction houses worldwide. Works by Agapito were sold in the sale of the forever famous Hollywood actress Katharine Hepburn's estate on June 10, 2004, at Sotheby's, New York.
