Featuring over 150 works, including paintings and works on paper collected by Jacques and Natasha Gelman alongside photographs and period clothing, the exhibition presents cherished works by iconic artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in the broader context of Mexican Modernism, including artwork by Manuel and Lola \u00c1lvarez Bravo, Miguel Covarrubias, Gunther Gerzso, Mar\u00eda Izquierdo, Carlos M\u00e9rida, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Juan Soriano, Rufino Tamayo and others.
