Donation of Contemporary Artworks to Blanton Museum of Art

The CPPC Donates Over 200 Contemporary Artworks to Six Museums in Latin America, the United States, and Europe. As Part of a Global Initiative, Gifts Will Strengthen Museum Holdings in Key Areas, Expand the Presence of Art from Latin America, and Advance Scholarship in the Field
Introduction
As part of Gustavo and Patricia Cisneros’ longstanding commitment to building bridges of understanding through education and culture, the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (CPPC) has donated more than 200 pieces from its collection of Latin American contemporary art to six leading museums in Latin America, the United States, and Europe. Encompassing 91 artists from 22 countries, the gift is part of a long-term global initiative supported by Gustavo and Patricia Cisneros and their children to advance scholarship and promote a greater appreciation of the diversity, sophistication, and range of art from Latin America. The six beneficiaries, with whom the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros has developed enduring relationships, are: The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York; The Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; the Museo de Arte Moderno Buenos Aires; the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI), Peru; the Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York; and the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas, Austin.

“My husband Gustavo—always a proponent of a global outlook—and I have made the integration of culture from Latin America into the wider narrative of art history the goal of the CPPC from its inception,” said Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, Founder of the CPPC. “With our children, we want to communicate our pride in our shared cultural heritage and raise awareness about Latin American culture’s crucial contributions to the history of art. To that end, over the past four decades we have lent works, supported and organized exhibitions, provided opportunities for education and for international scholarly exchange, published books and catalogues, and built a comprehensive web site about art and ideas from Latin America. The donation of contemporary artworks continues to further this overall goal. As with past donations, we have collaborated with each institution to choose works that are relevant to their missions and expand their collections in ways that will allow them to develop a nuanced presentation of contemporary Latin American art for their audiences.”

The six institutions were selected for their established interest in studying and featuring contemporary art from Latin America; the regional influence of their art collections, exhibitions, and programs; and for serving as important references for an international artistic community. The artworks that have been selected for each museum are the result of a collaborative process designed to strengthen and expand each museum’s holdings.
Donation to the Blanton Museum of Art
The Blanton Museum of Art of the University of Texas in Austin, one of the country’s foremost university art museums, will receive a group of works that will build on their commitment to reflect and study the rich diversity of the artistic traditions in Latin America. Several mixed-media works by Brazilian artist Leda Catunda, a sculpture by Colombian artist Mateo López, and a series of photographs and related paintings by Mexican artist Pia Camil, among others, will now be part of one of the most comprehensive collections of Latin American art in the United States.
