Art d'Amérique latine, 1911-1968

the long version

"French catalog for the exhibition on Latin American art (1911-68) with a small section on architecture organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and presented at the Pompidou Center in Paris in 1992 (also in New York and at the 1992 World's Fair in Seville). Originally conceived as an event to commemorate the quincentennial, this effort may be interpreted as an attempt by MOMA to silence criticism about its reluctance, apart from a few examples, to include Latin American artists in the museum's permanent collections. The various texts written for the catalog follow the curatorial script, focusing on specific subjects. Beautifully produced, with lovely illustrations and superb printing"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
