Organized by the Americas Society in New York, "Moderno" is the first exhibition to examine how design transformed the domestic landscape of Latin America during a period marked by major stylistic developments and social and political change. The presentation features over 130 works, including furniture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and graphic design by Lina Bo Bardi, Clara Porset, Miguel Arroyo and others. To further highlight this innovative chapter in the history of Latin American modernism, the Blanton’s showing will expand upon the New York presentation to include additional furniture, domestic objects, and a selection of Brazilian, Mexican, and Venezuelan paintings from both the Blanton’s holdings and private collections.  

The Blanton Museum of Art is open Tuesday through Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 11am to 5pm, and Sunday 1pm to 5pm. Closed on Monday.
