American Latina 1960 - 2013: Phots and Texts (English and Spanish Edition)

The Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain presents America Latina 1960-2013, co-produced with the Museo Amparo in Puebla (Mexico). This catalogue will offer a new perspective on Latin American photography from 1960 to today, focusing on the relationship between text and the photographic image. Bringing together more than seventy artists from eleven different countries, it reveals the great diversity of photographic practices by presenting the work of documentary photographers as well as that of contemporary artists who appropriate the medium in different ways. This unique exhibition and catalogue (more than 500 reproductions in black and White) provides the opportunity to delve into the history of the region and to rediscover the works of major artists rarely exhibited in Europe.
