Tour | Step into the Avant-Garde Art World of David Lamelas
Experience David Lamelas: The Machine through a tour led by a gallery guide.

Over six decades, he has created a diverse body of work while living across Buenos Aires, London, Los Angeles, and Paris, among other locations, developing a nomadic sensibility that profoundly shaped his practice.
