Cold America: Geometric Abstraction in Latin America (1934-1973)

11 February to 15 May 2011, Juan March Fundation, Madrid. The exhibition catalogue, in two editions, Spanish and English, includes essays by Osbel Suárez, guest curator, as well as a number of renowned artists and experts on Latin-American art. Contributions include Ferreira Gullar’s essay on the dialectics between concrete an neo-concrete Brazilian artists and César Paternosto’s account of the Madí deconstruction of the frame, María Amalia García’s distinctive approach to the Brazilian and Argentine art scene and Luis Pérez-Oramas’s to Venezuelan constructivism, and Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro’s study of the similarities and differences between abstract art on both sides of the Atlantic. This collection of essays adds to the narrative of the exhibition by presenting an impressive body of textual evidence.
