“It is in Gary Nader’s remarkably complete collection of Latin American, South American and Caribbean Art, from Mexico to Brazil, large countries to small islands, that the trends, styles, social and political concepts and essential paradigms may be understood and experienced.  The collection affords the audience the opportunity to explore Latin American art through the lens of time and place, in and out of its ties to European and North American modernism and understand each stylistic category as representative of a nation as much as the international art world.  It also tells the story of these complex territories through images that range from traditional and academic, regional to global”.   Carol Damian, Ph.D.
