The Sites of Latin American Abstration
December 6 – February 18, 2006

Curated by Juan Ledezma

The Sites of Latin American Abstraction is a unique historical exhibition consisting of over 100 artworks. Ella Fontanals-Cisneros explains, “The curator, Juan Ledezma, takes a fresh approach to the subject of Latin American abstract art, both visually and conceptually.” Sites brings together the fascinating and distinctive, abstract-geometric art production in Latin America, particularly from Argentina and Uruguay, Brazil, and Venezuela, concentrating on the period comprising the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s.”
