Washington, DC—The National Gallery of Art has acquired over 40 significant works by contemporary Latinx and Latin American artists of different generations, including Luis Cruz Azaceta, Ken Gonzales-Day, Guadalupe Maravilla, Michael Menchaca, Abelardo Morell, Sophie Rivera, Joseph Rodríguez, and Rafael Soriano. Spanning photography, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, these works demonstrate the National Gallery’s commitment to artistic excellence and support our goal to build a collection that reflects and attracts the nation and its global connections. These new acquisitions include significant works by artists who participate in major art movements and whose practices explore creative experimentation, personal and communal identity, and histories of the United States and the Americas.
