LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN ART

'MoMA at El Museo - Latin American and Caribbean Art from the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art' is, as the title suggests, an exhibition highlighting artworks selected from this major collection.

The curators' introductory texts provide analyses of the collection within the broader context of modern art in Latin America; a history of the development of the collection focusing on major acquisitions, exhibitions, and curators and staff involved in the formation and study of the collection; and discuss the curatorial premises for MoMA at El Museo.
