Museum Andres Blaisten,The 24 Hour Virtual Museum
This virtual Museum showcases an important collection of Mexican Art from Andres Blaisten’s private collection. The exhibition includes works from the first half of the Twentieth Century, as well as the Nineteenth Centuries, along with colonial paintings.
The site is divided into several periods or themes, beginning with "Art from Modernism to the Avant-Garde," and includes works by Ángel Zárraga, Alfredo Ramos Martínez, Diego Rivera, Carlos Mérida and Rufino Tamayo, among others.
Other works by other equally important, though lesser known artists can be viewed in the Country to City, Dialogs and Proposals, Contemporary Art I and II, Painting of New Spain, and Temporary Exhibition areas.
The original works are housed and are displayed throughout Andre Blaistens's private home and are the result of more than 30 years of careful selection. The comprehensive collection is a wonderful insight into the evolution of Mexican fine arts.
You'll be surprized to see who's part of this extensive collection.
