What began in the 1990s as a nomadic gallery founded by Mónica Manzutto, José Kuri, and Gabriel Orozco in NYC has become a cornerstone of Mexico’s art scene. Its debut show—Economía de Mercado—took place in a market stall in 1999, where artists sold pieces made from materials found on-site. Today, Kurimanzutto continues to support boundary-pushing artists with global reach.
