The exhibition is ostensibly about the history and development of European modern art. What the viewer experiences strolling through the show, however, is the good taste of a single collector.
The collector in question, Mexican business magnate Juan Anotonio Perez Simon has been amassing art since the early 1990's for his social service foundation, Juntos Actuandos.
The 100 works chosen for display represent the highlights of more than a thousand Simon holdings. The exhibit represents an eclectic group of styles, subjects and approaches to art. There are fine examples of the Italian, German, Dutch, English, Flemish, Spanish and French schools.
