Description

Catalogue of the heritage exhibition Malba Collection. Latin American Art 1900 — 1970 , presented at Malba between September 2018 and March 2020.

Along with the exhibition Latin American Art 1900–1970 : Malba published a major book to document the installation of its permanent collection, which opened in September 2018. In addition to reproductions of selected works by 96 artists from the Malba Collection, the book brings together, for the first time, a series of bibliographic entries resulting from the Collection Research Project, initiated and directed by Agustín Pérez Rubio in 2015. More than 70 researchers, prestigious international specialists, participated in the project, writing commissioned texts on the various pieces belonging to the museum.
Through the collaborations of the invited authors—curators, critics and art historians—, the book allows for a review and expansion of knowledge about the Malba collection and makes this exhaustive archive available to the public.

“The historical distance that now separates us from Latin American modernism and the beginnings of conceptual art allows us to see clearly that the regional movements that gave rise to them were not late copies or derivatives of European ones, but rather original expressions that, moreover, nourished artists and schools elsewhere. The collection of pieces that make up the Malba Collection allows us to trace these multiple, inexhaustible intersections that, throughout the 20th century, have constituted the history of art in our region.” —Victoria Giraudo
