Beatriz González's archives

Edición de la obra Los archivos de Beatriz González

In addition to her life as a noted artist, Beatriz Gonzáles (b. Bucaramanga, Colombia 1938) built a large bibliographic and documentary archive around art in Colombia. The archive -which she has collected since 1960- includes newspaper clippings, exhibition catalogues, posters, arts books, among other things, and have allowed her to write texts in relation to the history of art in Colombia. The exhibition was digital and face-to-face (until December 8, 2020 upon prior reservation), and the objective of the virtual tour was to be able to travel through the artist's archive. The archive is divided into three main axes: graphic sources for her work, news and publications about her career, and information related to the development of art in Colombia. The first two axes correspond to her artistic production and the third to her work as a historian and curator, A look at her archives confirms that González' art is intimately linked to the images we consume on a daily basis.
