Museo Jumex Cancels a Hermann Nitsch Show

"But some experts said that Mr. López had not assumed the responsibility that came with opening a museum in the Mexican capital. The foundation, which does not have a board, is financed by Grupo Jumex. While the foundation would not give details about who canceled the exhibition, decisions are sometimes influenced by Eugenio López Rodea, the Grupo Jumex founder and father of the collector, according to people who know the younger Mr. López. The elder Mr. López is considered a man with more conservative tastes than his son.

Cuauhtémoc Medina, a Mexican curator and art critic, said he could not recall an occasion in recent decades when a Mexican museum canceled a show because of fear of controversy, adding, 'There’s a lack of seriousness in an institution that — just because it has private funding — forgets that it has a responsibility to the public.'"
