The ASU Art Museum ¿Arizona Sate University¿ started its Latin American collection in 1950, with a donation of several works by Mexican artists David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, and Rufino Tamayo. The collection grew with donations from local collectors, adding works by Carlos Mérida, Leonel Góngora, Rafael y Pedro Coronel, prints by José Guadalupe Posada, and Leopoldo Méndez. More recently, the collection has acquired works by contemporary artists Alejandro Colunga and Néstor Quiñones. The museum also boasts a significant group of works by Cuban artists for the 1990s generation. This collection has resulted in international recognition for the museum, starting after its show Contemporary Art from Cuba: Irony and Survival on the Utopian Island. The museum has works by Pedro Álvarez, Abel Barroso, Sandra Ramos, Carlos Estévez, Aimee García, Iván Capote, Kcho, and Los Carpinteros, among others. The collection is currently seeking expansion and the acquisition of works by Southern Cone artists. The museum is also interested in organizing Latin American art exhibitions with its collection fund, loans from collectors, and recent acquisitions. From March through August it will present Signaling New Latin American Art Initiatives, and in the Spring of 2006 there will be an individual show by Brazilian artist Oscar Aiwa, kicking off a series of shows intended to introduce the American public to the work of younger artists.
