The loss of the Gelman collection of Mexican art to a Spanish bank has concentrated minds on preserving the works of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera at home.

So, it is worth taking a moment to welcome the reopening of the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City after a six-year closure amid fears it would move from the collector’s former home.

Olmedo made a fortune in business, regularly posed for Rivera, and led a campaign to create a museum for his and Kahlo's works.

Her personal collection first went on show in 1994 when she opened her museum in Mexico City until Covid closed its doors in 2020.

Then the trust that runs it announced plans to open an extension in a different part of the city raising fears it could be split up.

Campaigners rallied against the move, citing Olmedo's will which specified she wanted it to stay where it was and their victory has been confirmed by the news the museum will reopen on May 30.

It was announced earlier this year the Gelman collection is at least temporarily being moved to a cultural hub set up by Spanish banking giant Santander in the city where it was founded, despite calls for it to stay in Mexico.

Pop artist Peter Blake will see his west London studio recreated just a few miles down the road at the Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery.

It will form the heart of a show opening in November celebrating his seven-decade-long career.

As well as recreating his workspace, it will also reflect his abiding interest in popular culture with some of his personal collection of memorabilia and artifacts on show.

Blake emerged as part of the early 1960s new wave of British art alongside contemporaries such as David Hockney and found a wider audience when he designed the cover of the Beatles album Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with his then-wife Jann Haworth.
