In June, I visited the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City. Franz Mayer was a German born financier who came to Mexico City in 1905 at the age of 21. He quickly built an impressive amount of wealth, which he in turn used to compile an amazing collection of art and sculptures.
When he died in 1976, he left behind a special trust to administer his collection as a gift to the people of Mexico. Ten years later, the museum he envisioned became a reality and opened its doors in Mexico City. The Franz Mayer Museum now welcomes thousands of visitors from all over Mexico and around the world. It is located less than a block away from the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and across the street from the Alameda Central Park. http://www.franzmayer.org.mx/
During my visit, the museum was featuring the work of one of Mexico's most renowned ceramic artists, Gustavo Perez. The show titled "Mirada Retrospectiva" showcased Perez's most innovative work.
I enjoyed this piece because of its strong green, and its ying yang reference.
