Museo de Arte Latinoamericanos Buenos Aires (MALBA)

I can’t say enough good things about MALBA!  Love the pristine modern space with the super high ceiling, massive windows and never ending escalators.  Muy excellente!

The photography exhibit Marcados by Claudia Andujar is incredibly powerful and a must see.

And the work of Juan Tessi Cameo was a nice warm up for the main events: Jorge Macchi Perspective and the Latin American Art 20th Century.  

Jorge Macchi is now one of my favorite artists.  I didn’t take many snaps because I was too busy picking my jaw up off the ground.  Brilliant.  Stunning.  Standing ovation.

The permanent collection of Latin American Art from the 20th Century alone, is worth visiting the museum for.  Incredible energy, and dynamic artwork.  I could stare at Antonio Berni's Manifestacion for hours.  They even have work by Frida Kahlo, Roberto Matta, and Diego Rivera, to name a few well known Latin American artists.

So many amazing artists, but Alejandro Xul Solar’s Neocriollism work is particularly powerful.  

Oh, and how could I forget Jeff Koons’ Ballerina, that greets you when you arrive?

Este museo es fenomenal!  Visit MALBA them on Facebook.
