"Portraits of Frida and Other Utopias," an exhibition of black-and-white photographs by Colombian artist Leo Matiz, was opened December 7 at the Art Museum of the Americas.

The exhibition, which runs through March 4, 2001, is a collaborative project between the Art Museum of the Americas and the Leo Matiz Foundation.
