Summary

Accompanying an exhibition collaboration between the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires and the MMK Frankfurt am Main, this 496-page book juxtaposes the European-North American canon and Latin American experimental art of two continents, examining both their commonalities and the challenges that cultural exchange entails. Here, works by Teresa Burga, Luis Camnitzer, Lygia Clark, Augusto de Campos, León Ferrari, Gego, Anna Maria Maiolino, Cildo Meireles, Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Pape, Mira Schendel, Grete Stern and others sit alongside pieces from the MMK's collection, including works by John Chamberlain, Lucio Fontana, On Kawara, Barry Le Va, Fred Sandback, Ben Vautier, Franz Erhard Walther and others.
