Today at 10.30 am at the Galería ARTE 92 (calle Blanca de Navarra, 8) the exhibition Tlalpan Temoc in xochitl (To the earth the flowers came down), dedicated to the Mexican painter Diego Rivera, will be presented by Diego María Alvarado Rivera, the great-grandson of the master.
The exhibition, curated by Celia Marcos and Alberto Puig, is about Mexico and will feature two original sketches that Diego Rivera made for the two grisaille paintings in the palace of Hernán Cortés in Cuernavaca. The exhibition offers the viewer a careful selection of antiques and historical documents from “old” and “new” Mexico through works by modern and contemporary artists.
The presentation will be attended by Diego María Alvarado Rivera, independent curator of the work of Master Diego Rivera, his great-grandfather, and Frida Kahlo. Diego Rivera’s great-grandson is trained by his mother Ruth Alvarado Rivera, a world-renowned curator of Diego and Frida’s work, who died in 2007, leaving by blood right her only son, who has held this responsibility for almost 15 years with documents in galleries and private collections in America and Europe.
