de la Cruz Collection

🎨 We are thrilled to announce that Rosa and Carlos have gifted a major installation by assume vivid astro focus (avaf) to The Bass Museum as a permanent addition to their collection. Founded in New York in 2001, assume vivid astro focus is an ongoing collaboration between Eli Sudbrack (b. 1968, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and a diverse group of international visual and performance artists.

This kaleidoscopic installation holds a special place in the history of the de la Cruz Collection, having adorned Rosa and Carlos’s home
for the past two decades. Originally installed in 2004, these works capture a pivotal moment in Miami’s art history, coinciding with the rise of Art Basel in the city. We know this work will find a home at The Bass Museum, ensuring its enjoyment by the public for years to come. . 🌟
