The Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Malba) has opened a major retrospective of Colombian artist Olga de Amaral, titled 'Olga de Amaral: Textile Body,' to celebrate the museum's 25th anniversary. The exhibition, running until May 11, features over fifty works from six decades, including key series like Entrelazados and Brumas, drawn from collections across the Americas.
The retrospective is significant as it is the first major anthological survey of Amaral's work in Latin America, solidifying her position as a pivotal figure in contemporary textile art. It challenges traditional categorizations of art by presenting her monumental woven pieces as hybrid works that blend painting, sculpture, and architecture. The accompanying catalogue and presentation of archival material, including her fashion projects, aim to document her pioneering role and extensive influence across international artistic networks.
