On view: through

Geles Cabrera: Museo Escultórico explores the legacy of Mexican sculptor Geles Cabrera, presenting a selection of works created over 40 years of the artist’s career. The first solo show of Cabrera in the United States, this exhibition will include sculptures that reveal the artist’s interest in the human body and her experimentation with different materials alongside archival documentation of her artistic practice in Mexico City. Born in 1926, Cabrera occupies a unique place in the trajectory of Mexican art as one of Mexico's most prominent female sculptors. Situated between abstraction and figuration, her visionary sculptures offered new understandings of the human form.

The exhibition was on display from June 8 to July 30, 2022.
