Title: Lily Salvo
Description: The exhibition, co-organized with Lily Salvo's family, features an extensive selection of approximately 60 works, plus some sketches, brochures, program covers and costume designs, selected from a lage family collection that capture this artist's nearly 70-year career. Unknown to many, forgotten due to her exile in Italy during the Uruguayan dictatorship, Lily Salvo (La Plata, Argentina 1928-2010) develops a very varied pictorial work, but where women are always protagonists, they appear again and again in different situations. The selection consists of oil paintings, engraved drawings and boxes. In the latter, Salvo builds small universes, in them, the artist collects images and objects of women and builds symbolic allusions within small installations.
