More / Less further explores shifts in contemporary visual culture, as revealed through the vision of collectors, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz. Comprised of over 200 works, More / Less continues the collection’s ongoing study of the intimate link between gesture, abstraction, and written language.
“We always try to build relationships with the artists in the collection. Our exhibitions are a collective effort that includes the voice of the artists. This exchange helps us build possibilities that extend beyond our understanding of current art practices, and allows for the inclusion of the artists’ vision.” – Rosa de la Cruz
“In our case,” says Carlos de la Cruz, “we have deliberately focused on art produced during the last 30 years. We believe that this questions the issues that are relevant today. As Pablo Picasso said, 'Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. Even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms.'"
Completed in December of 2009, the de la Cruz Collection is privately funded by collectors, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz. The 30,000 square foot museum, located in Miami's Design District, serves as an extension of the couple’s home where for over 30 years they have shared with the public their passion for art, collecting, and education. Our primary mission is to provide yearly exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art, offering accessibility for audiences at no cost, and supporting the local community through public programming that includes lectures, artist-led workshops, student travel, and pre-college programs.
The de la Cruz Collection encompasses the collector's vision and history, motivated by encouraging education and providing a platform for the exchange of ideas.
About de la Cruz Collection
In the late 1980’s, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz started collecting from their home which they opened to the public by appointment only. From 2001 to 2007, Rosa founded and chaired the non-profit Moore Space, a kunsthalle located in the Design District.
