“The art in the exhibition originates from the collection of Drs. Harriett and Ricardo Romo of San Antonio, Texas, longtime collectors of Latinx and other art. This is the gallery’s second exhibit curated from works gifted to UHD by Harriett and Ricardo Romo. The first held last January featured the work of Latinx artists as part of Latino Art Now!, the 2019 Houston city-wide celebration of Latinx art and culture. Encompassing a broader range of artists represented within the Romo collection, the current exhibition affords an opportunity to view a second selection of works before their placement around the UHD campus. Ricardo and his wife Harriett have been recognized for their philanthropy in the arts. Over the past 20 years they have donated nearly 2,000 Latino art prints and paintings to a dozen museums, including The McNay Museum, The Smithsonian, The Witte Museum, The University of Texas Benson Latin American Collection, Briscoe Western Art Museum, San Antonio Museum of Art, Say Si!, The University of Houston Downtown, Progreso Library in Uvalde, The University of Texas-San Antonio, San Antonio Public Library, and St. Phillips College.”
