About the Gallery
Ortuzar Projects is a project space in Tribeca dedicated to promoting international artists that have played critical roles in the 20th and 21st-century art-historical canon but have not received recent exposure in the United States. Founded by Ales Ortuzar in 2018, Ortuzar Projects presents exhibitions in collaboration with artists’ estates, foundations, and representing galleries. While the scope of the project is contained to a two-year timeline, the gallery seeks to provide these artists with a lasting, expanded visibility through exhibitions and the publication of significant scholarly catalogues. They will be hosting upcoming projects by David Robilliard, Maruja Mallo, Peter Roehr, and Michel Parmentier.

Mallo pursued Surrealism in the company of Salvador Dalí, the filmmaker Luis Buñuel and the poet Federico García Lorca, but as with many female artists, her contributions are only beginning to be studied.
Ales Ortuzar, a former partner at David Zwirner Gallery, opened Ortuzar Projects this year with an intent to focus on international artists who have not had recent exposure in the United States.
Before he died in 1968, at age 24, the German artist Peter Roehr was able to assemble found advertising photos – his partner, the gallerist Paul Maenz, had brought them home from a day job – into more than a hundred mind-blowing grids.
The stated mission of this new TriBeCa project space, founded by a former partner at David Zwirner, is to exhibit artists who've had a significant foreign impact but little exposure in the United States. Its inaugural show certainly qualifies.
