Overview
- The Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes has opened “Lilia Carrillo. Todo es sugerente,” presenting more than 100 works through February 8, 2026.
- The 1969 mural La ciudad desbordada, contaminación del aire appears publicly for the first time since 1976, measuring 5 by 6.40 meters with a coin attached to the canvas.
- The exhibition gathers Carrillo’s final output, including the last nine paintings she made before her death in 1974 and several unfinished pieces.
- Curatorial framing highlights Carrillo’s role in gestural abstraction and her multidisciplinary practice across painting, muralism, illustration, textiles, and stage design.
- Newly surfaced archival materials include stretcher inscriptions documenting her last months and testimony by Manuel Felguérez, with a catalogue due later in 2025 and selected works slated to travel to Americas Society in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
