Selections from La Colección Jumex” is one of the largest private collections, based in Mexico City, of international contemporary art in the world, especially Latin America.

For more detail information, call 513.345.8400 or visit: www.contemporaryartscenter.org. The show remains on view through January 30, 2011.
The collection is displayed in a cultural side-by-side ‘framing’ of artworks by inter-generational artists from Mexico with those of other country origins.
