Topic: Latin American Abstract Art
Project Description: Journey through the vibrant cities of South America during the mid-twentieth century and witness the birth of Modernism in the Americas. Drawn from one of the world's leading collections of Latin American art, The Geometry of Hope: Latin American Abstract Art from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection, this exhibition examines the dynamic visual vocabulary of Geometric Abstraction that developed in the cosmopolitan art capitals of Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and other South American cities from the 1930s through the 1970s. Featuring more than 125 works by more than 40 artists, The Geometry of Hope examines the complex history and rich creative ferment of one of the most fascinating artistic movements of the last century. A version of the exhibition will be on view at New York University's Grey Art Gallery in the fall of 2007.
