About Marta Minujín 

Marta Minujín (b. 1943), is one of the most relevant and irreverent contemporary artists working in Argentina today. Over her more than sixty-year career, she has produced work that explores a multitude of artistic languages, scales, and social circuits, combining critical thinking and boundary breaking with an unwavering commitment towards the social and the political.

The artist studied fine art at the Escuela de Bellas Artes Manuel Belgrano (1953–59) and art education at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes (1960–61). Her notable honours include the Premio Nacional Instituto Torcuato Di Tella Award (1964), the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship (1966), and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale (2017). Minujín has also represented Argentina at the Venice Biennale in 1960, and exhibited at venues such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Tate Modern in London.
