Concrete Matters

During a few decades of dramatic social change and optimism, artists in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, S�o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Caracas developed a new "concrete" language independent of representative imagery. Concrete Matters presents some 70 works from the mid-1930s to the 1970s by artists who developed concrete art. It highlights the Brazilian neo-concrete movement, with artists such as Lygia Clark, Willys de Castro and Heli� Oiticica, and also includes works by Max Bill, Alu�sio Carv�o, Waldemar Cordeiro, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Geraldo de Barros, Willys de Castro, Gego, Judith Lauand, Ra�l Lozza, Gyula Kosice, Tom�s Maldonado, Juan Mel�, Juan Molenberg, Alejandro Otero, Lygia Pape, Rhod Rothfuss, Luiz Sacilotto, Mira Schendel, Ivan Serpa, Jes�s Soto, Joaqu�n Torres-Garc�a and Anatol Wladyslaw. The selection draws on the Colecci�n Patricia Phelps de Cisneros.
