Las Artes de México

UMFA Presents
Las Artes de México
On view through September 26, 2010


The Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) is pleased to present Las Artes de México, an exhibition celebrating more than 3,500 years of Mexican art, history, and culture. On loan from the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this exhibition will be on view in six of the UMFA’s first-floor galleries during the summer of 2010.

Las Artes de México offers a dynamic look at Mexico’s ancient, folk, and modern cultures, showcasing art from many different eras and regions. From ancient Mesoamerican artifacts to groundbreaking twentieth century artworks by modern masters, Las Artes de México examines the rich historical roots that have developed into the country’s cultural landscape today.

Las Artes de México examines over three millennia of tradition and change across the broad spectrum of Mexican art and culture. The exhibition is on view at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts as the final venue in a three-year national tour developed and managed by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services, a company based in Kansas City, Missouri.
