El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá (MAC) como entidad cultural de UNIMINUTO, es una institución que adopta los principios de la obra Minuto de Dios, con los que nació en el año 1966 bajo la premisa del Padre Rafael García-Herreros. El 15 de agosto de 1966 se formalizó la fundación del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá, Germán Ferrer Barrera gestionó con destacados artistas del momento la donación de obras. El 25 de noviembre de 1966 el MAC abre al público, en una modesta sala del Colegio Minuto de Dios, su primera exposición con 55 obras que fundaron la colección del MAC. El 21 de noviembre de 1970 el entonces Presidente de Colombia Sr. Misael Pastrana Borrero, inauguró el nuevo edificio diseñado por los arquitectos Eduardo del Valle y Jairo López. El concepto espacial del museo corresponde a una espiral que se desenvuelve sobre un gran vacío central que le sirve de lucernario, mientras su escalera permite una circulación helicoidal por sus tres plantas, que forma un sólo volumen con el teatro para constituirse en icono de la cultura en el noroccidente de Bogotá y llevarse un destacado Premio Nacional de Arquitectura.
He studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Bogota, at the Art Students League of New York and at the Pratt Institute in the same city. At the age of 24 he had his first solo exhibition at the National Museum of Colombia. These were figurative works that preceded an abstract production that lasted until the 1970s. Later, and influenced by the Spanish Baroque, Manzur began a new stage of his figurative work where still life, the transverberation of Santa Teresa, the figure and history of San Sebastian and mainly, the use of the horse in various situations stand out. Master David Manzur is known for the constant evolution of his work. In November 2019 he was decorated by President Ivan Duque with the Grand Cross of the Order of Boyacá, the highest decoration of the Republic of Colombia. He currently lives and works in Barichara, Santander, Colombia.
