Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte

Profil

Founded in Buenos Aires in 1965 by Ruth Benzacar, Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte is directed by Orly Benzacar and Solana Molina Viamonte. Since its inception, the gallery has been committed to contemporary art, paying special attention to the work produced by Argentine artists.

The gallery's annual programme includes fourteen exhibitions by both established and emerging artists.

Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte has also got a long trajectory in international art fairs, where the work by our artists is followed and recognized by curators from the most important public and private art institutions worldwide. Through the fairs, we also engage in dialogue with other internationally recognized galleries.

We believe in permanent evolution and in continuously promoting the encounter with a numerous and heterogeneous public. In sync with this committed spirit and with our tendency to taking up new challenges, we produce since 2002 (año correcto_) the contest Curriculum Cero with the hope of encouraging the youngest artists. This has become a prestigious prize in Argentina and one of the main opportunities to showcase new talent. The jury selecting the finalists - whose work is included in the contest's exhibition, taking place every December - is comprised of an established artist, a young one, an academic and the gallery's directors. Participant s have between 15 and 30 years old and the winner gets a solo show a year later in the Nuevo Espacio (New Space) of the gallery.

Throughout our history we have remained loyal to our aim of creating a space open to experimentation as well as to reflection, that gives way to creative freedom and discovery through the most singular proposals.
