Description: "One hundred works from the private collection of Dr. Luis Rivera Dávalos, donated to the municipality of Cuzco, led to the founding of a museum of contemporary art. As with most private collections, this one reveals taste and artistic inclinations of its patron. With a few exceptions, most works are by local commercial and untrained artists. A colloquial text by Manuel Gibaja animates the reader to relate freely with the works, which are predominantly figurative and folkloric. The term 'contemporary' is perhaps a little too ambitious for the group"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: "Colección, 1897-1995"--Cover.
