In the years after World War II, artists in Argentinaand Brazil experimented with geo- metric abstractionand engaged in lively debates about the role of theartwork in society. Some of these artists used novelsynthetic materials, creating objects that offered analternative to established traditions in painting-proposing that these objects become part ofeveryday, concrete reality. Combining art historicaland scientific analysis, experts from the GettyConservation Institute and Getty Research Instituteare collaborating with the Coleccio n Patricia Phelpsde Cisneros, a world-renowned collection of LatinAmerican art, to research the formal strategies andmaterial decisions of these artists working in theconcrete and neo-concrete vein.Making Art Concrete presents works by Lygia Clark,Willys de Castro, Judith Lauand, Rau l Lozza, Toma sMaldonado, He lio Oiticica, and Rhod Rothfuss, amongothers with new spectacular photography. Thephotographs, along with information about the now-invisible processes that determine the appearance ofthese works, are key to interpreting the artists' technical choices as well as the objects themselves.Indeed, this volume sheds further light on the social, political, and cultural underpinnings of the artists' propositions, making a compelling addition to the field of postwar Latin American art.

Presenting new scholarship, this publication is an innovative technical study of the Concrete art movement in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay from the 1940s to the 1960s.;;Purity Is a Myth presents new scholarship on Concrete art in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay from the 1940s to the 1960s. Originally coined by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in 1930, the term concrete denotes abstract painting with no reference to external reality. Van Doesburg argued that there was nothing more real than a line, color, or plane. Artists such as Willys de Castro, Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, Hermelindo Fiaminghi, Judith Lauand, Raúl Lozza, Tomás Maldonado, Hélio Oiticica, and Rhod Rothfuss would reinvent this concept in postwar Latin America.;;Drawing on research conducted by Getty and international partners, the essays in this volume address a variety of topics, including the general history, emergence, and reception of Concrete art; processes and color; scientific analysis of works; illustrated chronologies of the paint industry in Brazil and Argentina; and Concrete design on paper. An innovative technical study of the Concrete art movement in Latin America, this volume will be indispensable to scholars, practitioners, and students of Latin American art.

In1966, Ed Ruscha drove a car rigged with a motorized camera tocapture Los Angeles' most iconic street: Sunset Boulevard. Navigating theboulevard, he created a time capsule of its famed facades, beginning analmost sixty-year-long commitment to documenting the changing urban landscapeof postwar Los Angeles. The Streets of Los Angeles Project that comprisesthese photographs is likely the most comprehensive artistic record of anycity, with over 900,000 images of major thoroughfares. Ruscha's photographsconstitute an unparalleled visual chronicle of some of Los Angeles's mosticonic sites while also capturing the tapestry of everyday life-popular musicvenues, neighborhood restaurants, and billboards promoting Hollywood's latestblockbusters. In this volume, scholars from disciplines such as urban planning, cultural geography,architecture, art history, and musicology explore the Streets of Los AngelesArchive as a rich repository for analyzing Ruscha's practice and the city's visualculture.
