Buenos Aires Through Its Galleries: Five Must-Visit Stops

Founded as a design studio in 2004 and transformed into a gallery in 2016, Valk Gallery has a clear focus: promoting contemporary and post-contemporary art. The space is defined by dialogue, reflection, collaborative work, and a committed approach to each project.

Its strength lies in its close work with both established and emerging artists, helping their works reach fairs, public institutions, and private collections.

During March and April, Leo Kipen presents “The Folds of the Landscape.” In May and June, Andy Mermet will exhibit “Áurea.”

Where: Esmeralda 1055.

With more than six decades of history, Rubbers blends the strength of master artists with the freshness of new talent. Founded in 1957 by Natalio Jorge Povarché and Elena Montero Lacasa, it hosted Andy Warhol’s first exhibition in Argentina and continues to support emerging artists while preserving its legacy.

The Summer Group Show 2026 brings together established figures and new voices, offering a fresh and diverse overview of contemporary Argentine art. It’s an invitation to explore works by artists such as Marcelo Burgos, Eduardo Cetner and Gaby Grobo, alongside a piece by the great Xul Solar.

Where: Av. Alvear 1640, Ground Floor.

Much more than a gallery, Almacén operates as a creative laboratory: it researches, develops, and professionalizes its artists while proposing experiences that foster dialogue with the public. Under the direction of Leo Mayer and Ismael Abraham, the space combines audience development, artwork circulation, and innovative exhibitions from a thoughtful and committed perspective.

Its permanent roster includes artists with solid, contemporary practices such as Kalil Llamazares, María Paz Secundini, Mariquena Vallejo, Ramiro Pasch, Leo Mayer and Santiago Estellano—each with a unique narrative that engages with current debates in art, reinforcing the project’s plural and dynamic character.

Alongside the exhibition by Kalil Llamazares and Santiago Estellano at HomeGallery (San Nicolás de los Arroyos), Ramiro Pasch is presenting a show at the Buenos Aires branch.

Where: HomeGallery: Bustamante 490, San Nicolás de los Arroyos | Sucursal: Florida 971, Piso 1, Local 47, Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

With nearly 30 years of experience in Córdoba, Sasha D. Gallery maintains its essence in Buenos Aires: promoting and showcasing Argentine artists such as Vanesa Amenábar and Emilio Reato, broadening the perspective on contemporary local art.

The 2026 program opens with an exhibition that invites viewers to look back at a pivotal moment: what visual artists were doing during the pandemic. The show runs until May 15, Tuesday through Friday from 3pm to 7pm at Central Affair – Galerías Larreta (971 Florida St., mezzanine), a space that serves as an exhibition platform for multiple galleries. The exhibition acts as a sensitive map of that uncertain time, featuring works that speak of isolation, reinvention, and creative resilience.

Where: Ecuador 481, 1st Floor.

Since 2021, Tiempo Galería has opened its doors as a space where art and interior design organically interact, enhancing the visitor experience. Directed by Maggie Esposito, the gallery develops site-specific curatorial projects, presenting contemporary artists whose works explore the lights and shadows of our time: the body inhabiting a suspended, fragile, and fleeting space.

With a strong commitment to diverse media and craftsmanship—sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, and ceramics—Tiempo Galería showcases pieces that prioritize spatial and installation-based approaches, inviting viewers to reconnect with their own state of being in order to choose and create again. These are objects that not only transform environments but also become part of private collections with identity and character.

Currently on view is “Emissions of a Strange Beauty” by Alina Cantón, curated by Andrea Basmagi, followed by works by Sergio Bazán starting April 30.

Where: Florida 971, Central Affair, Unit 40.
