SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Francisco Toledo (1940–2019) worked across painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics. He began his artistic training in Mexico City at seventeen and moved to Paris after his first exhibitions. In the early 1960s he exhibited at Galerie Daniel Gervis, returning to Mexico in 1965. Informed by pre-Columbian culture, his work brought together the traditions of his native country and Western Europe. His cultural engagement included founding the Casa de la Cultura in Juchitán in 1972 and the Instituto de Artes Gráficas de Oaxaca. A maker of etchings and lithographs, he received Mexico’s National Prize for Sciences and Arts in 1998, the Prince Claus Award in 2000 and the Right Livelihood Award in 2005.
