A comprehensive survey of Latin American art across the 20th and 21st centuries, featuring 17 works from the John and Sandy Fox Collection, including pieces by Diego Rivera and Roberto Matta.
A Century of Art in Latin America is on view at the Denver Art Museum through June 15, 2027. It's the latest addition to the museum's Latin American Art galleries, which hold one of the most important collections of the region in the United States. You'll find it in the Fox Gallery, within the Latin American Art galleries on level four of the Martin Building.
Curated by Raphael Fonseca, the exhibition is a survey of Latin American art across the 20th and 21st centuries. It's meant as an introduction rather than an exhaustive history, and it draws exclusively from the John and Sandy Fox Collection. On the walls are 17 works by artists like Diego Rivera, Roberto Matta, Leonora Carrington, Carlos Mérida, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Alexander Apóstol, and Tessa Mars. The show departs from previous exhibitions that focused on a single movement—like Surrealism or Abstraction—to offer a broader look across different styles, time periods, nationalities, and mediums.
The museum frames the exhibition as a redefinition of 'Latin American art,' arguing that the region's artists have never subscribed to a single style or medium. The show was made possible through the promised gift and funding of John and Sandy Fox.
