Private contemporary art museum, next door to Buenos Aires' Museo de Arte Moderno, exhibiting works by contemporary artists
This private Museum of Contemporary Art will be opened under the impetus of philanthropist and collector Aldo Rubino in September 2012. This contemporary art enthusiast began collecting works of art in the late 1980s. In order to make his important selection known, he decided to establish a museum. Located right next to the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, it is a large building made of rough concrete and very minimalist glass offering 4 large rooms with a total surface area of 1,800 m², each on one floor, exhibiting works by contemporary artists, more exactly adept at geometric abstraction. The audiovisual area offers interactive experiences. The Colección Rubino provides cultural treasures that bring together renowned Argentine and international artists. Among them are Enio Iommi (1926), Gyula Kosice (1924), and Raúl Lozza (1911-2008), leading figures of Argentine concrete art, and the Italian kinetic artists Toni Costa (1935), Alberto Biasi (1937) and Dadamaino (1930-2004), the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel, a meeting of Franco-Argentinean artists based in Paris between 1960 and 1968, or the Argentinian contemporaries Pablo Siquier (1961), Guillermo Kuitca (1961) and Karina Peisajovich (1966). One does not need to know conceptual art to appreciate this collection, and one does not tire of looking at the colours, lines and optical effects of each work.
