Contemporary Art: A Visit @ Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo Mexico City

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - My wife and I are again in Mexico City, our second stay in the metropolis since December 2018. Mexico`s capital has an impressive selection of museums. Yesterday we visited the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, which is located in a park in the center of MC (museotamayo ).

The institution - founded by the artist Rufino Tamayo - was the first major museum in Mexico built with private funds. The Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA) has run the museum since 1986 (wikipedia ).

 

We could see a selection from their permanent collection and some temporary art shows. I display here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.

 

Above you can see Francis Bacon`s "Two figures with a monkey" followed by Max Ernst`s "Torpid Town"; Roberto Matta`s "Homo tumultum"; Wifredo  Lam`s "La femme cheval" & Rufino Tamayo`s "Retrato de Olga".
