This exhibition is the first in the United States to bring together objects from all phases of Toledo's career and in almost all media the artist has employed, including paintings, prints, ceramic sculptures, and a tapestry designed by him. Earlier exhibitions in this country were focused on specific projects or media, curtailing the audiences' understanding of the artist's versatility. The only retrospective of Toledo's work outside Mexico was held in 2000-2001 in London's Whitechapel Art Gallery and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid. Several works in this exhibition have never been seen publicly; others, such as the recent ceramic objects, have not been shown in the United States before.
