José Gurvich Foundation was created in Montevideo at the end of the year 2001 with the objective of promoting Uruguayan artist José Gurvich's work and life. Before setting up this Foundation, the artist's widow and his son devoted privately to the diffusion of his work.
During the last few years, the Gurvich family was devoted to establishing the Foundation with the idea of incorporating more support from other people in order to promote José Gurvich's work. After elaborating the by-laws of the Foundation, it was established as a legal person by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Founders donated considerable amounts of money, books, catalogs, illustrations, postcards and the usufruct of 5 permanent collections for a minimum of 5 years. These collections are: oil paintings, works on paper, murals, sculptures and objects.
They also conveyed the copyrights on the reproduction of José Gurvich's work for commercial purposes for the Foundation benefit.
