Description: Enrique Silveira and Jorge Abbondanza were both born in Montevideo. They started a ceramic workshop together and have work in collaboration since 1957. Their artwork developed towards a social, political, local and global denunciation. In a moment of inflection they decided to experiment with sculptural installations exhibited on broad bases, serial sets (mostly) of whitish and ascetic biscuit. They donated their private collection to MNAV in 2017.
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales, Montevideo in 2017, featuring Silveira's and Abbondanza's donation of 30 ceramic pieces to the museum.

Includes bibliographical references (pages [101]-102).
