Alberto Greco, a pivotal figure in the experimental avant-garde movement, is celebrated in a new retrospective at Madrid's Museo Reina Sofía. Opening from February 11 until June 8, the exhibit titled 'Alberto Greco, Viva el arte vivo' includes over 200 works created by Greco between 1949 and his untimely death in 1965. The exhibition presents a comprehensive collection that spans various public and private collections, showcasing the impact of Greco's artistic vision.

The retrospective is curated by Fernando Davis, who underscores Greco's unique methodology, emphasizing seeing art not just through the artwork itself but through the act of engaging with it. This innovative perspective is rooted in Greco's own manifesto from 1962, where he calls for a deeper interaction with art that transcends traditional viewing practices. Greco's career, which began in Buenos Aires and ended in Barcelona, is characterized by his avant-garde approaches and experimental nature, blending elements of humor and audacity into his works.

This exhibition not only serves to reintroduce Greco’s legacy but also invites contemporary viewers to explore the boundaries of artistic expression. As an artist deeply entrenched in the cultural dialogues of his time, Greco's work prompts reflection on the nature of art and its relationship with experience. The retrospective stands as a significant cultural event, celebrating an artist who continually challenged the limits of creativity.
