Venice Biennale - June 10 Opening

I am not familiar with Guillermo Kuitca from Buenos Aires who will be exhibiting in the Argentine Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. This pavilion is in the historic Ateneo Veneto in Campo San Fantin near La Fenice. Apparently Kuitca is one of only 3 artists who is in both a national pavilion and the international Biennale exhibition. By the time Kuitca reached age 13, he had sold several pieces from his gallery show. A retrospective of his work will be shown at the Hirshhorn in 2009.

According to the New York Times, his 6 x 12 feet paintings will be a survey of the "fluctuating topography and history of abstraction over the last 100 years." I can't wait to see what he is offering.
