Some time ago I received an e-mail from someone unknown to me, Liliana Loredo. She works at the Francisco Cossio Museum, here in San Luis Potosí. She wanted to tell me that they had a forgotten painting at the museum:
It is a painting made in 1992 called "El sillón rojo". It is from a series made from photos of Sonia, a friend now living in Monterrey. I did many drawings, some were published in the Tierra Adentro magazine. The last time I remember the painting was at El AGORA-DIF, a place where I used to teach figure drawing back in 1994-97. Then, I lost track of it.
The e-mail was certainly a nice sorprice. Liliana Loredo was telling me that I could pick it up or, if I wanted, donate it to the museum, where they have allready at least a drawing by me. Sincerely, I was so happy, that I told her I would pick it up. Giving it a second thought, I decided to give it up. After all, it was lost for me.
Well, today the papers for the donation were signed, and the painting now belongs to the Francisco Cossio Museum, where I had my first solo exhibition. The architect Francisco Cossio was in charge of the place for many many years. I believe that if it werent for him, the place wouldn't be a museum now. He was an art lover, and thanks to him I exhibited there three times. I'm happy that the painting is in the Museum collection.
