Held at one of the most beautiful cities in the world, every two years, the Venice Biennale opens to the public: a gigantic exhibition that wants to capture the artistic moment of today. This year it will open on June 1st, but between May 29th and 31st, the Biennale will welcome special guests, press and collectors. The latter are the main characters of the art world. Their acquisitions keep the market alive and many museums have seen their collections increase thanks to their donations.  That is what happened to the MNBA, which, in the early 20th century, received a great number of pieces belonging to the Guerrico family.
Manuel José Guerrico, who is known as the first Argentine collector, begun his collection in 1848, in Europe, mostly with a philanthropic and educational aim. He wanted to bring to Buenos Aires examples of the art movements, for the Fine Art students.
