Three Major Latin American Collections Converge in Madrid
Madrid hosts three simultaneous exhibitions showcasing the private collections of prominent Latin American families: Eduardo Costantini (Argentina), Eduardo and Mariana Hochschild (Peru), and Augustin and Isabel Coppel (Mexico). All three received the Arco Foundation's collecting award this year. The Coppel collection, displayed at Fundación Banco Santander in Boadilla del Monte, features 120 works from 58 artists including Joseph Beuys, Lucio Fontana, and Bruce Nauman, tracing 20th- and 21st-century art through a Mexican lens. The Hochschild collection, at Sala Alcalá 31, focuses on contemporary Peruvian art with over 1,500 works acquired since 2009, addressing social and environmental themes. Eduardo Costantini's collection, shown at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, highlights Latin American modernism, including Diego Rivera's "Baile en Tehuantepec" (1928), acquired in 2016 and exhibited in Spain for the first time. Costantini founded the MALBA museum in Buenos Aires in 2002. The exhibitions run through spring 2017.
