Guillermo Kuitca (born 1961) is an Argentinian visual artist, born in Buenos Aires and a key figure in the history of Latin American art known for his map and architectural work.[1] Kuitca has exhibited worldwide and his work is held in several major international collections, including, the Met, MoMA,[2] The Art Institute of Chicago, The Tate Gallery, Stedelijk Museum and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.[3] His work has also been included in a number of international exhibits, including the 2007 Venice Biennale.[4][5] In 1995, a 12 year survey of his work was organized and toured, crediting with increasing United States' interest in his work[6] after he made his New York City debut in the early 1990s.[7]

His work is also in a number of travelling collections including a winter 2008 exhibit at the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia, which includes work from the North Carolina Museum of Art.[8] His opera-related niche work, inspired in part by Wagner,[9] has led to an exhibit at the Metropolitan Opera's Met Gallery.[4][10]
