Horizontes culturales de la historia del arte: aportes para una acción compartida en Colombia
Este volumen constituye el inicio de una aventura de perspectivas y posibilidades en los programas de historia del arte de la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, los cuales permiten formar estudiantes tenaces y capaces de asumir el reto del estudio sobre el objeto artístico, la imagen, la cultura visual y los lugares de la memoria del arte. Es el inicio de una conversación con la historia, que como bien la describe Ernst Gombrich, “es como un queso gruyer, está llena de agujeros”. En este sentido, lo interpela Peter Burke: “la historia es como un espejismo, nunca se alcanza, pero es bueno estar orientados por ella, es como vamos a estar más cerca de lograrla” (entrevista a...
Agentas culturales del siglo XX. Desafíos de una gestión
A través de 20 ensayos de especialistas en el estudio de la producción, recepción y divulgación del arte, se devuelve la mirada a una pléyade de mujeres imprescindibles al frente, a los lados y detrás del arte que ejercieron políticas y prácticas ajenas a las posturas dominantes y cuya labor no siempre aparece en los catálogos o en los libros. Desde Inés Amor, María Asúnsolo, Lola Álvarez Bravo, las hermanas Pecanins, Lydia Sada de González, Márgara Garza Sada, Geles Cabrera Alvarado, Ángeles Espinosa Yglesias, Dolores Olmedo, Carmen Marín, Helen Escobedo, Sylvia Pandolfi, Margarita Nelken, Elisa Vargaslugo, Beatriz de la Fuente, Raquel Tibol, Ida Rodríguez Prampolini, Teresa del Conde y Juana Gutiérrez Haces hasta Graciela De la Torre, coordinadora de este proyecto, algunas de las "agentas" culturales imprescindibles en México se ponen de relieve en estas páginas dando cuenta del complejo proceso detrás de la existencia del objeto artístico.

Dialéctico del paisaje urbano
Dialectics, understood as a conversation technique or debating concept is the main topic of the exhibition "Dialectics of the Urban Landscape" that presents the artistic creations of José María Velasco, Pedro Gauldi, Casimiro Castro, Diego Rivera, Juan O'Gorman, Rufino Tamayo, José Clemente Orozco, Marx Ernst, Pablo O' Higgins, Manuel Rodríguez Lozano, José Castro Leñero, Betsabeé Romero, Helen Escobedo, Gabriel Orozco, amongst other artists who used the city of Mexico as a main source of inspiration. The exhibition included 76 works created in diverse time periods and formats (paintings, sculptures, graphic art, installations and video art) that have artistically portrayed the city during the last 5 centuries of its history, from the 16th to the 21st century.
José García Narezo
Exhibition dedicated to avant-garde painter José García Narezo (b. Madrid 1922 - d. Mexico 1989), who arrived in Mexico in 1938 because of the Spanish Civil War. The exhibition comprises 45 surrealist paintings that belong to private collections and one to the Museo de Arte Moderno de Toluca. Included are also 51 items of supplementary material, including books, journals, photographs and documents illustrating the development of his professional and personal life. Texts by Adriana Clemente Mejía, Del Cueto Ruiz-Funes, Juan Ignaci, Eduardo Alarcón Azuela, Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera, Luis rius Caso and Raúl Cano Monroy.
Luis Ortiz Monasterio (1906-1990)
Many of Mexico City's emblematic public and monumental sculptures (Monumento a la Madre in Reforma Avenue, the monumental fountain of Nezahuacóyotl, and the sculptures of the Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, amongst others) were done by Luis Ortiz Monasterio (b. Mexico 1906-1990), an artist that enjoyed the endorsement of many public institutions during president Adolfo López Mateos, when much of the social projects were commissioned. This exhibition and monographic study represents an historic and aesthetic reassessment of the artistic contributions of Ortiz Monasterio to the Mexican School of Sculpture and to the cultural legacy of someone "who understood that art in post-Revolution Mexico followed a social function". The present printed homage includes three studies that contextualize his art, an essay dedicated to Benito Coquet Lagunes, director of the IMSS between 1958 and 1964 written by his son and 3 catalogues with a selection of 70 pieces: 54 sculptures (marble, bronze, terracotas, ceramic, stone, artificial cement) and 16 bidimensional pieces from public and private collections.
