Description: "In 2004, MFAH presented Inverted Utopias, a critically acclaimed exhibition focusing on the development of avant-garde art in Latin America from 1920 to 1970. At the time of the exhibition, a major symposium was held at the museum. Edited by Héctor Olea and Mari Carmen Ramírez, this book brings together texts and commentary by leading art historians and critics who participated in the event, including Gabriel Peluffo Linari, Andrea Giunta, Luis Camnitzer, and Lucy R. Lippard, among many others. A wide range of topics is covered, including the avant-garde in America and Europe, Argentine art in the 1960s, Latin American Conceptualism, and Brazilian art trends of the 1950s."--Publisher description.
