After opening galleries in Paris, Switzerland and Greece, Renos Xippas inaugurated his latest gallery in Montevideo in 2010 and so became a worldwide institution for contemporary arts. Xippas intends to study the local art scene and utilize his network of international contacts to exhibit foreign artists in Montevideo and to present and promote Uruguayan talent all over the world. Xippas Gallery not only exhibits all the diverse forms of artistic expression from painting to sculpture, photography and installations, but also promotes its artists through publications, illustrated catalogues and high-profile events, marking a turning point for the Montevideo art scene.
