TERESA BURGA
A pioneering figure in Latin American Conceptualism, Teresa Burga (b.1935, Iquitos, Peru–d.2021, Lima, Peru) made works that encompassed drawing, painting, sculpture, and conceptual structures that supported the display of analytical data and experimental methodologies. Born in Iquitos, Peru in 1935, Burga studied at the School of Art Catholic University of Peru in Lima and contributed significantly to the Peruvian avant-garde art scene. In 1966, along with other forward-thinking artists in Lima, Burga formed part of the Arte Nuevo group, a collective of artists interested in advancing genres of Pop, Minimalism, Op Art, and happenings in Peru.
