Concrete Matters, 2018 Exhibition Catalog

Catalog produced for the exhibition Concrete Matters at Moderna Museet (Sweden). During a few decades characterised by social change, optimism and dramatic political events, artists in the fast-growing cosmopolitan cities of Montevideo, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Caracas adopted and developed a new, concrete language that distanced itself from either figurative or representative imagery. Concrete Matters presents some 80 works from the mid-1930s to the 1970s by artists who explored the potential and boundaries of concretism in various ways, and with partly different intentions. The selection is formed around works from the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros.
