SUMMER 2026 After a week at @ArtBasel, I wanted to recap all the moving parts for my work this summer. Feeling blessed with work being shown at: -San Diego Museum of Art -Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid -Art Collection Deutsche Börse -Patricia Conde Galería, CDMX -Museum für Gestaltung Zürich -Louise Alexander Gallery, Port Cervo, Italy 1/ 15 Years of Landmark Acquisitions San Diego Museum of Art Until September 7th Work exhibited: Car Poolers #21 This exhibition marks the centennial of The San Diego Museum of Art, celebrating a select few of the many thousands of important works of art added to the collection in its recent history. Since the Museum first opened its doors to the public in 1926 as the Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego, it has become home to significant holdings of old masters as well as Modern and contemporary art. More recently, the Museum has made great strides to augment its core collections of art from East Asia, South Asia, the Islamic world, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. In many cases, this has led to commissions of works by contemporary artists, bridging the historic with the art of our times. The merger with the Museum of Photographic Arts in 2023 greatly enhanced the collection of photography. As the Museum currently embarks on an important endeavor to expand the building’s west wing, doubling its display space with an extension designed by Foster + Partners, other gifts have entered the collection, including the formidable Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Modern collection of Toni Bloomberg. Today The San Diego Museum of Art’s collection boasts over 35,000 works of art. The astounding quality of the additions to the collection, especially in its recent history, are testament not only to the Museum’s directorial and curatorial vision, but moreover to the many generous individuals who have gifted art to share with this city and its many diverse communities. Highlights include works by Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Jusepe de Ribera, John Singer Sergeant, Louise Nevelson, Alfredo Jaar, Nick Cave, Gabriele Münter, David Hockney, Lucas Cranach the Younger, Hugo Crosthwaite, Albrecht Dürer, Ala Ebtakar, Lalla Essaydi, Utagawa Hiroshige, Wifredo Lam, Berenice Abbott, Pan Gongkai, Sergio Hernandez, and many more. It is a collection created by and for the people of San Diego and is shared internationally through publications, loans to other museums, and with touring exhibitions worldwide.

.@SFMOMA acquires two of my works for its permanent collection The acquisition was made through the Catherine Clark Gallery in SF and with the help of three generous collectors. It is an honor that a museum with such a legacy for contemporary art and photography continues to support my practice. Their first acquisition of my work was in 2012. This would be the 4th body of work they acquire. This work was created 10 years ago and still speaks of the current issues between the US and Mexico.

These two artworks stopped me in my tracks the second I saw them. Before visiting this show I had no idea how deep and far Alejandro had searched when creating so many different bodies of work. In pursuit of perspective, to tell a greater story, and to educate those who might be unaware. To document the moments many others blinked and walked past. Alejandro has given me (and many others) an opportunity to learn about a culture, heritage, and way of life through his art and it’s a blessing to follow along. It makes me feel grateful for everything that I have. Congratulations Alejandro, much deserved!
