Alfredo Prior - Exhibitions

Exhibitions

Prior’s first solo exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes took place in 1998.

His solo presentations had been adapted to the space of each gallery and from this exhibition on, Prior let each museum interfere with his work. In this way, the public and validating space of the institution could become a support for his art, increasing the possibilities of his own resources. Starting at the Museo Nacional, he continued at the Museo Larreta. He would then exhibit at Sala Cronopios of the Centro Cultural Recoleta with works that needed a colossal location. Later on, at the Benito Quinquela Martín Gallery, in La Boca. He later held a retrospective at Museo Nacional de Arte Moderno.

In March 2003 he presented his most important exhibition at the Modern Art Museum of Buenos Aires. Works from al his epochs inhabited the rooms: the Osarios series (1982/1984), works in collaboration with Kuitca, Rearte and Monzo (1983), Bears and Rabbits series (1986), Chinese Hairstyles and Scenes at a Chinese Restaurante from the Stone Age (both 1987). And also Sweeping fallen leaves (1991), Aru Dut’s Way (1974) and Complete Chinese Operas (1999).

During 2004, he chose to reformulate all the painting of Leonardo da Vinci,in his second solo exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Prior improvised Da Vinci and The War of Styles was the name chosen for his “Davincian Orchestration”, rebuilding the studies of the artist’s lost fresco The Battle of Anghiari.

That same year he exhibited in Los Angeles with Kevin Power as curator. He has held yearly solo exhibitions at his current Buenos Aires gallery (Vasari)for the past years.
