Encyclopedia
The D.O.P. Foundation is a non-profit institution with spaces and documentary archives headquartered in Paris
(France), Madrid
(Spain), Miami (U.S.A.) and Caracas
(Venezuela) that operates as an educational and lending resource of modern and contemporary art and is dedicated to build a collection that reflects the scope and diversity of the art of our time.
This Foundation assists museums striving to present modern and contemporary art in a complex economic and cultural environment. While private collectors usually limit the accessibility of contemporary artists' work, the Foundation makes the collection's works available for loan to museums and university galleries through its "lending library" program. Since its inception in 1999, artworks from the D.O.P. Collection (Colección D.O.P.) have appeared in exhibitions at nearly 50 museums, universities, web sites and other public venues, and have been viewed by approximately one million persons per year.
