Exhibition Highlights

Alberto Greco (1931 – 1965) was a true original who lived his life as a work of art. Based in Buenos Aires and later Barcelona, he was a bold painter, a poet, and even an actor who loved to stir things up. Whether he was hosting "rolling exhibitions" or simply exploring the city, Greco turned his everyday experiences into a grand performance, mixing creativity with a touch of drama and a lot of personality.

The exhibition, Viva el arte vivo, takes you on a journey through Greco’s short but incredibly intense life. You’ll follow his path as a restless traveler, moving from the mountains of Argentina to the artistic hubs of Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, New York, and beyond.

His art was always on the move, just like he was. For Greco, "arte vivo" (living art) wasn't about following a strict plan or creating things just for people to buy. He saw it as the art of the future—an unpredictable, open-ended adventure that celebrated the excitement of the unknown.
