[Aztlan] Anahuacalli

[Nick Hopkins]

I spent several hours in Anahuacalli a couple of years ago, and I don't remember anything prurient; on the contrary, the collection on display is pretty blah (the house itself is interesting).  On the other hand, I have seen lots of those copulating couples in Oaxaca (polished black ceramics), but they are clearly of modern design and production.

> Re Diego Rivera's house (Anahuacalli), just remember that when it came to buying antiquities, Rivera did not care how old they were, just that they tickled his fancy. The house contains more 20th century "pre-Columbian antiquities" than pre-Columbian "pre-Columbian antiquities.
