"The Daros Latinamerica Collection, based in Zurich, is one of the most comprehensive private collections of contemporary art from Latin America. It includes over one thousand works by more than a hundred artists, comprising both individual works and groups of works in all media and genres, created mainly from the 1960s to the present day [...] From 2006, the Daros Latinamerica Collection developed Casa Daros in Rio de Janeiro as a platform for Latin American art, staging thematic and monographic work shows from 2013 to 2015. More than 20 exhibitions as well as numerous performances, lectures, artist talks, workshops, and other artistic projects presented successfully the key elements of the collection in Brazil, while at the same time creating a lively dialogue on Latin American art in Latin America." --'About' page.
"Marking the Museum’s entrance into online publishing, Altered States: Etching in Late 19th-Century Paris combines a scholarly collection of essays with a video glossary of printmaking techniques. The online publication compliments the exhibition by the same name that was on view at the RISD Museum June 30 –December 3, 2017.
In late 19th-century Paris, the printmaking process of etching underwent a revolutionary transformation. At a time when prints were usually made as copies of paintings rather than as original works of art, a revival of interest in etching led to greater knowledge of technique, allowing artists to experiment with subject matter and process more than ever before. The publication focuses on the creativity and experimentation that proliferated in these years, during and after etching’s revival, and the centrality in this important shift."
