Latin American Art History: An Historiographic Turn

This essay by Andrea Giunta and George F. Flaherty analyses the history of Latin American avant-garde and neo-vanguard art from a comparative perspective, focusing on topics such as transnational exchanges among artists and collectives, and the impact of political and economic change.
