Museo Gurvich inaugurated its new facilities on November 24th, with the presentation of the permanent collection of works by José Gurvich (a total of nearly 300 items), the international colloquium on Latin American Art Latinoamérica en foco: perspectivas sobre la cultura y el arte; and the temporary exhibition Taller Torres-García, Arte Universal, featuring works by Joaquín Torres-García, Julio Alpuy, Gonzalo Fonseca, José Gurvich, Francisco Matto, Manuel Pailós, Augusto Torres, Horacio Torres, and Américo Spósito. The Museo Gurvich was established in October, 2015, after intense efforts on the part of the Gurvich Foundation, with the intention of presenting, preserving, and studying the life and work of the Lithuanian-Uruguayan artist José Gurvich. Since its inception, the museum, a non-profit organization, has made available to visitors a varied and complete art collection, preserved by the artist's family for more than thirty years. The Museo Gurvich closed its doors in 2013 and underwent a process or restructuring, reconceptualization, and rebirth, now in a new building that retains its main mission from a renewed perspective. The new Museo Gurvich is located at Peatonal Sarandí 522, and its facilities have modern equipments, adequate lighting, thermal conditioning, and security services with international standards. The new Museo Gurvich will develop an intense and relevant cultural proposal in Uruguay, including permanent and temporary art exhibitions, seminars, lectures, concerts, colloquia, and interventions of various natures. The museum's permanent collection features works representing different periods in José Gurvich's career. Its nearly 300 works tells the story of the artist's life and creative evolution, from his birth to his early death. The exhibit includes murals, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and objects, dating from Gurvich's time in the Torres-García Workshop, to the impact of his stay at the Ramot Menasché Kibbutz. There is also a space devoted to the artists last years in new York City, with works that reflect and prompt a variety of emotions among the audience. The museum also holds a small collection of works by other Torres-García Workshop artists, as well as works by Gurvich's own students.
