Description

The catalogue of an exhibition highlighting artworks selected from New York's El Museo del Barrio presents over 100 paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, and illustrated books produced by artists from Latin America and the Caribbean, selected from MoMA, with introductory texts from the curators providing analyses of the collection within the broader context of modern art in Latin America; a history of the development of the collection focusing on major acquisitions, groundbreaking exhibitions, and influential curators and staff involved in the formation and study of the collection; and a discussion of the curatorial premises for MoMA at El Museo. Short essays follow on key works added in each phase of the collection's growth.
