Biography

The Pan Klub Foundation – Xul Solar Museum, is an institution dedicated to preserve and diffuse the work of the argentine artist Alejandro Xul Solar, being its main task to develop and promote culture in its different aspects.

Created in 1986 by Micaela (Lita) Cadenas - the artist's wife - and Natalio J. Povarché - Xul Solar's marchand - following the original plans of Xul, such as he had thought the Pan Klub at the end of the thirties.

The Museum opened on April 13 th 1993. The works that are exhibited were selected by Xul Solar himself for the Pan Klub. These works constitute the permanent exhibition of the Museum, along with objects, sculptures, and documents that belong to his personal archive. Furthermore the Foundation preserves the personal dwelling of the artist that lodges as well his library of near 3.500 volumes.

The Museum's building was designed by the Architect Pablo T. Beitía, starting by the states, associations and images taken from the artistic production of Xul Solar's work. Amongst the prizes awarded, in 1998 the building was selected as semifinalist for the Mies Van der Rohe Prize for Latin America, and in 2003 won the “Decade Award prize” given by the University of Palermo (Buenos Aires) and the Tusquets Fundation from Barcelona.
