Catalog essay
All the ceramic lamps were the result of a collaboration between Barragán and Hugo X. Velazquez, a ceramist who lived in Cuernavaca. They created many pieces based on popular models that he used for his projects. This kind of lamp can be seen at Clara Porset’s house in Chimalistac and in the private house of the architect Manuel Parra.
