Ruth Benzacar Galeria de Arte

Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte is a landmark contemporary art gallery based in Buenos Aires that was founded in 1965 by Ruth Benzacar. It has played a central role in the development of contemporary Argentine art, particularly from the late twentieth century onward, by consistently supporting experimental, conceptual, and avant‑garde practices. The gallery has been instrumental in introducing new artistic languages in Argentina, including conceptual art, installation, performance, and politically engaged practices, while also maintaining a strong commitment to painting and sculpture.

Following Ruth Benzacar’s death in 2000, the gallery has continued under the direction of her family, preserving its pioneering spirit and international outlook. Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte represents a wide range of Argentine artists across generations and has been a key platform for their participation in major international exhibitions, biennials, and museum collections. Through its long history, rigorous curatorial program, and sustained engagement with local and global art contexts, the gallery remains a foundational institution within the contemporary art landscape of Buenos Aires and Latin America.
