A contemporary feel
A weekend in Buenos Aires wouldn't be complete without a visit to Malba, the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires. The Malba is located in the elegant Avenida Figueroa Alcorta, and houses the magnficent permanent collection of Edward F. Costantini, the creator of the museum. I always find interesting pieces in the halls of Malba, and there have been some exhibitions here that have touched me deeply. First, I remember a retrospective of the great Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca I visited in 2003.
In early 2010, there was a great show of works by Andy Warhol "Mr. America" which satirizes the American way of life.
And this year Philip Larratt-Smith a group show entitled "Bye, bye american pie" that explores the changing culture of the United States from the 70's to today. This modern building has a contemporary feel from the moment you step inside. The rooms are bright with natural light, and have been divided into three levels to best highlight the collections. If you love modern art, the art of Latin American, art in all its expressions (painting, photography and sculpture), Malba is the right place.
