Her collection, comprising over 3000 works with a notable focus on international minimalist art, reflects her personal and professional journey. The study delves into the institutionalization of her legacy, from the creation of the Helga de Alvear Foundation to the development of the museum, highlighting its innovative architecture and museography. This research provides insights into how such initiatives can foster exhibition, research, conservation, and education while transforming urban landscapes.
