OMR is a contemporary art gallery
located in Mexico City. It was founded in 1983 by Patricia Ortiz
Monasterio and Jaime Riestra. This book charts its creation and history.


The
gallery represents the work of emerging and established active artists
within the national and international contemporary art scene, as well as
the deceased Adolfo Riestra and Alberto Gironella. In 2009, the gallery
opened a project space in the annex functionalist architecture
building, with the purpose of generating a new platform for proposals by
young artists and larger works. This space was called el52, because it
is located at number 52 of the Plaza Rio de Janeiro.


In January
2016, OMR moved to a new space within the Roma neighbourhood, located on
the street of Córdoba 100, as part of a renovation project, during
which Cristobal Riestra officially assumed the direction of the gallery.
