The Kimberly Collection

The Kimberly Collection was donated to the Mexican Cultural Institute in 1994 by Mr. William Kimberly and Mrs. Elena Guajardo de Kimberly for the viewing and appreciation of the public in the Washington, D.C. area.

A fitting representation of modern Mexican art, it contains more than 100 works by visual artists who broke with the school of Mexican muralism pioneered by the likes of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco. Part of a new generation of artists, this group searched for new means of expression throughout the latter part of the 20th Century.
