She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History and graduated with her thesis “Origins and Cuban Avant-Garde” in 1998, which promoted and structured the exhibition with the same title in Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City, 2000).

She directed the Olga and Rufino Tamayo Foundation and in 2006 assumed the presidency of Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo A.C. (PAC).

Throughout her tenure, she has promoted high quality programs and has given continuity to International Symposium for Theory and Contemporary Art (Simposio Internacional de Teoría sobre Arte Contemporáneo, SITAC), one of the most important forums of theory in Latin America.

Servitje has formerly served as Vice President of the Board of the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City (MAM); and as a member of the Acquisitions Committees of both the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA) in Argentina and the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALÍ) in Perú. Currently, she is part of the Fundación Olga y Rufino Tamayo; President of the Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo, A.C.; member of the Patronato Innovando la Tradicion; member of the Dia Women Center and President of the Board of Casa Gallina. She is a member of the Patronato for MUAC, the Latin American/Caribbean Committee Fund of MoMA, in New York; and of the Latin American Acquisitions Committee of the Tate, in London.

Through her work in the institutions that she heads, Aimée Servitje embraces areas of contemporary art that other art collectors and bigger institutions do not, including non-profit art spaces, and experimental artistic and curatorial practices.
