In an interview with Arte Informado, Juan Yarur, Founder and President of the Fundación AMA, addresses the crisis that currently the planet is experiencing from the perspective of collecting and culture; today, Yarur says, "we have a responsibility to generate even more content, to create legacy, and to spread it widely." Here we leave the interview through the media to Juan Yarur: ARTEINFORMADO (AI): In these uncertain times, what message of encouragement and confidence would you like to convey to all operators and actors in the art world? Juan Yarur (JY): I think it is important to remember that throughout the history of humanity, we have been able to observe that as a result of the great changes and challenges, it is from where the great ideas, the great avant-gardes and also the new discourses that accompany and enhance the new eras. Art has always had a fundamental role in the resilience of the human being: it allows us to observe and approach the world from another perspective and at the same time connect with emotions and from that place, it helps us understand these new realities in a better way.

Juan Yarur, Founder of FAMA, in Larry´s List
In 2019 Juan Yarur Torres was recognized by ArtNews as one of the top collectors in the world. This 2020, Larry´s List, the leading platform in knowledge of the art market, focused its attention again on the President and Founder of Fundación AMA to do an interview that addresses aspects of his collection, its relationship with art and the activities carried out through the AMA. The conversation addresses various dimensions of Juan Yarur's work as a collector and philanthropist, a perspective that has been highlighted with recognitions such as ArtNews 50under50, the Montblanc Prize, or his participation in the board of museums such as MoMA or Tate. In this way, the medium highlights its vocation for Latin American art, especially Chilean, which through Fundación AMA has managed to lead such prominent spaces as MoMA, Tate, Guggenheim, The Met, among others, or more recently to the Biennial of Berlin, our next project. In this way, Juan Yarur joins today a long list of important collectors, who, through The Talks section, address the different dimensions of their work as collectors; thus, characters such as Kevin Poon, Robert Suss, Susi Kenna or Alan Lo have opened their collections and perspectives in this section to let
ICAA launches a new website with Chilean content thanks to Fundación AMA
In 2018, the Fundación AMA and the International Center for the Arts of the Americas (ICAA) at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, (MFAH), began collaborating on a research project that would allow them to start with the final stage of review, editing and translation of selected Chilean documents for the digital archive of Documents of Latin American and Latin Art of the ICAA-MFAH. Today, two years after the start of that process and thanks to the work of two Chilean researchers -Luz Muñoz and Sebastián Valenzuela-, the project sees the light with the launch of the new ICAA website. The redesigned platform more accurately reflects the Center's interdisciplinary activities, events, and the program Latin American Art Documents (ICAA Document Project). The site provides direct and immediate access to the more than 8,000 primary sources and critical texts that make up the ICAA Document Project. Furthermore, the platform allows users to navigate by "author", "title", "date" and "subject"; save your results in a "my documents" section; and share them with friends and colleagues. In addition, the platform enables ICAA researched partners to upload materials from primary sources directly to the site, significantly expanding the retrieval process that is a core function of
