If you’ve been to SDMA to view the Modern Mexico exhibition, it is time to visit again. The exhibition has been recently rotated to conserve the fragile works on paper. This second rotation of the deeply held collection of SDMA includes works from the 1950s to the present day. Dozens of the works on display have been in storage for many years.

If this is your first visit to SDMA to view Modern Mexico, you will still see works from iconic artists such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, José Agustín Arrieta and Rufino Tamayo. The exhibition is also augmented by a number of significant loans from lenders in the community. FOr more information please visit: http://www.sdmart.org/exhibition-modern-mexican-art.html
