Experimental Latin American Art in Dialogue with the MMK Collection 1940s–1980s Published by Kerber.
Edited by Victoria Eugenia Noorthoorn, Javier Villa, Peter Gorschlüter, Klaus Görner. Text by Alejandra Aguado, Gonzalo Aguilar, et al. 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.
