Founded by Luis Adelantado in 1985 in Valencia (Spain), has focused on promoting contemporary art. In 2009, the Luis Adelantado Gallery opens a new space in Mexico City. This new challenge is presented as a logical achievement, after a close relationship with the Mexico culture. The new gallery, with an area of 1500 m2, is located in a cultural area near Polanco, where the Jumex Museum and the Soumay Museum are located.
