At Oriunda we love art, we have the access, the knowledge and the expertise. This month we want to share with you our hand picked galleries and their curated work for arteBA 2018.
Let us take you to visit our selected Art Galleries:
RUBBERS INTERNACIONAL:
Why is Rubbers special?
It is one of the galleries with over 60 years in the Art market when a generation of great icons of Argentina´s art were at their peak. Along these years it has hosted the greatest referents in Argentinian painting such as Xul Solar, Pettorutti, Berni, LeParc, Noé, Benedit, Minujín, Robirosa, Doffo, among others, and international masters such as Bottero and Andy Warhol.
A visit to Rubbers is unmissable to get in contact with the captivating Argentinian artist Xul Solar. He is the highlight of this gallery. Xul was a one of a kind artist with a multifaceted personality: astrologist, historian, futurist, lingüíst, among other fascinating disciplines.
Another highlight of this gallery is Luis Felipe “Yuyo” Noe. He is a Master whose influence can be felt everywhere. Hundreds of artists of our country admire him and have followed him over the years.
On the other hand, it is wonderful to have three generations of women committed to working in Art at Rubbers. Mariana Povarché is the Director of the Gallery; Elena Povarché her mother, manages the magnificent Xul Solar Museum which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and María, Mariana´s daughter is Rubbers´ Curator.

“We are taking current and historic works by three main artists of 80’s generation: Marcia Schvartz, Alfredo Prior y Juan José Cambre. Plus Rómulo Maccio, Liliana Maresca, and a new series of drawings on paper from Karina Peisajovich and sculptures of Dolores Furtado. We seek to build bridges between the different generations” added Marina.

The gallery represents the most acclaimed Argentinian artists in the international scene such as Jorge Macchi, Leandro Erlich, and Guillermo Kuitca.
