From Chuck Samuels’ article regarding the Museo de Arte Moderno exhibition “La Parte Más Bella” for L’Oeil De La Photographie:
A few days before the opening, I met with Pedro Slim in Mexico City and it was a real pleasure to spend the afternoon getting to know him, his work and his collection. Besides its foremost focus on the photographic portrayal of the human body, the collection is not uniform – in fact it is somatically polymorphistic. There is a clear predominance of male photographers and bodies represented in the exhibition, but female artists and figures play a smaller yet significant role. Similarly, while the gaze is often queer and many of the works frankly homoerotic, there are also numerous photographs that resist those definitions.
