The Denver Art Museum celebrates A Century of Art in Latin America

The Denver Art Museum (DAM) has announced its upcoming Fox Gallery exhibition, *A Century of Art in Latin America*, opening June 15, 2025, and running through June 15, 2027. The exhibition will be held in the Latin American Art galleries on level four of the museum’s Martin Building and is included in general admission, which is free for visitors 18 and under and for museum members. Featuring works exclusively from the John and Sandy Fox Collection, the show includes sculptures, paintings, textiles, prints, and mixed media pieces spanning the 20th and 21st centuries, offering a broad survey of artistic movements across the region.

This exhibition matters because it moves beyond the typical focus on a single art movement, such as Surrealism or Abstraction, to present a more inclusive and comprehensive view of Latin American art over the past century. According to curator Raphael Fonseca, the show redefines the idea of art defined by shared cultural or ethnic heritage, emphasizing the diversity of styles, mediums, and nationalities among artists from the region. The two-year run and the promised gift of the Fox Collection underscore the museum’s long-term commitment to expanding representation and scholarship in Latin American art.
