Museo Xul Solar
Alejandro Xul Solar (Oscar Agustín Alejandro Schulz Solari, 1887-1963) is one of the most singular representatives of the vanguard in Latin America. In 1912 he went to Europe where he stayed until 1924, living in Italy and in Germany and making frequent trips to London and Paris. The Foundation was created in 1986 by Micaela (Lita) Cadenas the artist's wife and Natalio J. Povarché Xul Solar's marchand, following the original plans of Xul, such as he had thought the Pan Klub at the end of the thirties: a meeting place created for a cultural purpose for artist and intellectual people. The Museum opened on May 13th 1993. The works that are exhibited were selected by Xul Solar himself for the Pan Klub. These works constitute the permanent exhibition of the Museum, along with objects, sculptures, and documents that belong to his personal archive. Furthermore the Foundation preserves the personal dwelling of the artist that lodges as well his library of near 3.500 volumes.
