Book Description

Publication Date: 1999

This Spanish/English bilingual catalog and the traveling exhibition it accompanies examine the work of nine Argentinean artists whose iconoclastic production can be seen as finding a common ground in the critical recourse of parody. The exhibit and the catalog represent the first attempt to bring together this heterogeneous group of artists while simultaneously investigating the formal and conceptual affinities that link their artistic production. Featured artists are Antonio Berni, Jorge de la Vega, Victor Grippo, Pablo Suarez, Alberto Heredia, Juan Carlos Distefano, Leon Ferrari, Ruben Santantonin, and Luis Fernando Benedit.The catalog is one of the first comprehensive sources for these artists' work both individually and as a group. Comprehensive essays by curator Mari Carmen Ramirez and Argentinean art historians Andrea Giunta and Marcelo E. Pacheco address the general context of Argentinean art since the 1960s, as well as the specific issues posed by the works in the exhibition. Because of the lack of English sources on this topic, special emphasis is placed on the documentation of the exhibition topic and the artists' individual careers. Included are short critical essays on each of the artists represented in the exhibition, as well as documentary photographs, a selection of important writings by the artists, and a comprehensive bibliography for their work and the time period represented. This book is distributed for the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin and the Fondo Nacional de las Artes, Argentina.
