Bruno Newman

[1] In 1984, Newman founded Zimat Consultores, a large communication firm in Mexico City, which he still runs with partner Marta Mejía.

[2] In Paris, he took 450 photographs, eighty of which were published in a book called "El banquete del las banquetas."

The idea to photograph the city, focusing on sidewalks, occurred while he was there with his wife and was attracted by a metallic hatch which had an interesting texture due to the loss of paint.

[1] Newman is a member of the board the Consejo Mexicano para la Filantropia (Cemefi), and president of A Leer/IBBY México, which promotes literacy in the country.

He has a collection of over 30,000 objects in thirty categories such as household products, food packages, medicine bottles, cosmetics and toys.

[14] Newman created this enterprise with partner Gonzalo Tassier, to publish works focused on design and collecting.

[14] La Gunilla has also published works by Newman and Tassier, as part of a series of books called "Con-juntos."

Two of the books in this series, a "Una gruesa de colecciones" and "Encuentros con conocidos" both focus on Newman's personal experience as a collector.
