Colección FEMSA
Colección FEMSA joined CIMAM as a Supporter in September 2024.
Colección FEMSA’s mission is to contextualize art within the challenges that face our planet while generating community through significant, transformative projects that motivate citizen participation.
For more than 45 years, the Collection has promoted, documented, and disseminated modern and contemporary Latin American artworks through temporary exhibitions and a works-on-loan program, as well as through varied educational activities and discussions.
The Collection illustrates the evolution, complexity, and richness of artistic production in Latin America during the 20th and 21st centuries, with emphasis on Mexican artistic production.
Colección FEMSA is part of Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A., a Mexican company that has continually diversified itself over 130 years.
Promoting culture is one of the company’s long-held interests, thanks to encouragement from the founding family. The company’s artistic interests materialized in the 1977 formation of the FEMSA Collection, when the founding family donated El maizal (Milpa seca) by Mexican artist Gerardo Murillo (Dr. Atl). From that moment on, the Collection has grown by acquiring modern and contemporary art from Latin America, with a particular interest in Mexican art.
