The Iberê Camargo Foundation (Fundação Iberê Camargo in Portuguese) is a cultural institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the work of Brazilian painter Iberê Camargo (1914-1994). Created in 1995, one year after the artist's death, it not only aims to make people know Camargo's art but also intends to stimulate reflections on the contemporary artistic production, through displays, courses, seminars and meetings.The headquarters and museum building of the Iberê Camargo Foundation, in Porto Alegre, was designed by Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, the Pritzker Prize winner in 1992. Before its inauguration in May 2008, the foundation was operating in the late artist's home, also in Porto Alegre. The new building is located on the bank of Guaíba Lake.
