They exhibit the pictorial heritage of Los Pinos

Collection Official Residence / Los Pinos Cultural Complex is the name of the exhibition that the Memórica digital repository will exhibit starting tomorrow, in which you can admire 33 works made by the same number of artists in 1993, at the request of President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

The paintings are by creators such as Francisco Toledo, Manuel Felguérez, Vicente Rojo, Gunther Gerzso, Luis Nishizawa, Rafael Coronel, Beatriz Ezban, Cordelia Urueta and Juan Soriano, among others. And they were hung on the walls of the different houses that made up Los Pinos, the official residence until the administration of Enrique Peña Nieto.

In August 2019, after turning Los Pinos into a cultural center open to the public, the collection was exhibited under the title Of what is lost, what appears. 33 visions of painting in Mexico. And now it will be disseminated in a virtual sample that will reach a greater number of people.

Researched and curated by Dr. Carlos Molina, deputy director of Memórica’s Digital Cultural Heritage, the collection brings together pieces by authors born between the early 20th century and the 1950s, and there is a notable presence of artists from the Rupture and from later generations.

The recent history of the collection can be summarized in three moments: initially it was withdrawn from public scrutiny, the work is returned to the people for their enjoyment and criticism, and the reading of the paintings and the necessary conversation about their place in the history of the Mexican art”, the organizers point out.
