Dia Art Foundation and The Hispanic Society of America initiate a three-year collaboration beginning with a project by Belgian artist Francis Alÿs, who in the early 1990s relocated to Mexico City. Commissioned by Dia and installed at the Hispanic Society’s Beaux-Arts facility in Manhattan, Fabiola comprises almost three hundred images of the Christian Saint Fabiola, all of them copies of a lost original. The paintings will be installed in the Society’s mahogany-paneled North Building Galleries. Alÿs's collection will be read within the context of the Hispanic Society's unique collection of Iberian and Latin American art, engaging a dialogue between these historical and contemporary collections.
