Eugenio López Alonso

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugenio López Alonso is the founder of the Colección Jumex. It is one of the largest private modern art collections in the Americas, and said to be the largest in Latin America. His first museum space is within the Grupo Jumex’s food-processing plant in the suburbs of Mexico City. It now comprises around 1,200 works, about half by Latin American artists, most younger than 45. International artists collected by Mr López include Olafur Eliasson, Francis Alÿs, Doug Aitken, and Maurizio Cattelan, among many others.
