Tamayo, Nieto, Toledo. Los años en París

When Rufino Tamayo moved back to Mexico after ten years in Paris, he gave his work tools to Francisco Toledo, a young printmaker from Juchitán. As handovers go, it beats the half-empty garrafón your last flatmate left behind.

This show follows three Oaxacans in Paris: Tamayo from 1950, then Rodolfo Nieto and Toledo, a generation younger. You walk through one room per artist, each in its own colour: greens for Tamayo, blues and purples for Nieto, salmon and orange for Toledo. About 100 paintings, drawings, prints and collages come from 47 lenders, and several have never been shown in Mexico. Letters, books and objects trace their friendships with Paz, Cortázar and Borges.

La Voz de Michoacán's reviewer noted it keeps attention on the works instead of crowding the walls. Labels are sober, mostly confined to the introduction and a photo timeline, so read up beforehand if you want the backstory. It fills Salas 3 and 4 until 15 February 2027; entry is MXN 95, free on Sundays, closed Mondays.
