Another notable contemporary Mexican artist is Carlos Amorales whose work was also displayed at Art Basel Miami Beach this past December. Amorales, like many contemporary artists, uses various media, but he became well-known in particular for his works regarding "luchadores" or masked Mexican wrestlers. Rafael Lozano Hemmer, an installation artist, and graphic artist Francisco Toledo are also well-known contemporary Mexican artists who round out a handful of contemporary Mexican artists who that have gained international recognition in the art world in the last half century.  While these artists may be recognized by the art world as evidenced in articles in the New York Times and other media outlets in recent years, they are mostly unknown to the general public.  They have not had enough overwhelming success and visibility to make them household names like the muralists. There are several theories that I have about the reasons for this and I will explore them in the next section. Image Added
