Three exhibitions opening at the Frost


The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum will unveil “The Fantastic World of José Gurvich,” a new exhibition by renowned Uruguayan artist José Gurvich, on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

"Hombre Cosmico" by José Gurvich.

“The Frost is honored to bring this exhibition to a South Florida audience,” said Carol Damian, the museum’s director and chief curator.

Gurvich was an extraordinary artist whose life bridged distant places and cultures. When he was 6 years old, his family immigrated to Uruguay. His pictorial language developed from the diverse environments and art forms he was exposed to: from intimate domestic scenes in Montevideo to rural life and religious festivities in Israel to New York’s crowds and vibrant urban views.

Curated by Cecilia de Torres, the exhibit is on loan from El Museo Gurvich in Montevideo, Uruguay, and will be on view through April.
