Summary:	"For the first time a Mexican museum offers to the appreciation of the public a collection of 52 artworks from 45 masters whose technical and conceptual affinities are translated in oils, acrylics, watercolors, aquatints, drawings and sculptures. Their production covers three decades of work that contributed to the enhancement of four cities in the history of abstract art, although the authors come from 7 different countries (Germany, Canada, Spain, United States, France, Italy, and Mexico). Thanks to the visionary and young collector of art, Claudia Peralta of Domenech, who brings to the art world a collection of great worth and to some extent complement of national heritage, the public can enjoy works by Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning, Jean Dubuffet, Pierre Soulages, Yves Klein, Antonio Saura, Esteban Vicente, Lilia Carrillo, Manuel Felguérez, Gunther Gerzso, Alberto Gironella and Vicente Rojo, amongst many others.."
