Received an email this evening asking me about the ‘Art’ collection we mention when speaking of our new member hotel: La Casa del Atrio<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/strong>in <\/span><\/span>the beautiful city <\/span><\/span>of Queretaro<\/span><\/span>\u2014A UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n

Here is what we responded:<\/p>\n

La Casa del Atrio mainly exposes 50% Mexican art from all over and then 50% local Art by ‘Queretanos’. This was a promise the owner made to his community when he opened the gallery. We love this, by the way!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artists featured include: Rom\u00e1n Miranda, Marcela Herbert (Director of the Museo de Arte de Quer\u00e9taro. She is a friend of the owner of this tiny hotel and accesible to meet visitors on request) Ticha Gonz\u00e1lez, Claudia Ramos, Gustavo Villegas, Jordi Bold\u00f3, Esmeralda Torres, Rub\u00e9n Maya, Alberto Lescay, Hern\u00e1n Garc\u00eda and photographers such as Hans Paul Brouns and Elsa Chabaud. Art is displayed throughout the hotel and rotates every 2-3 months. They have an extensive collection.<\/p>\n

Antiques are mostly from Mexico. They were acquired in Quer\u00e9taro, Guanajuato, Celaya, Le\u00f3n, DF, Puebla, Oaxaca,and others. It’s really Antonio Arelle’s passion (one of the owners of the hotel) and he collects a bit of everything: sacred art, bronze, porcelain, wood carvings, antique jewelery, typewriters, radios, televisions (amazing these are NOW antiques!), marble pieces, lamps, etc.<\/div>\n

Several pieces traveled to Mexico from France at the beginning of the XIX century and were acquired by wealthy families of this era. Antonio also has some English furniture, and porcelains from the UK, Japan and China, etc. He also has a few pieces that date back to Colonial Mexico during the XVII and XVIII century.<\/p>\n
