Abstraction emerged as a dominant trend in Andean art in the 1950s and 1960s, in dialogue with the simultaneous resurgence of abstraction in Europe and the United States. By shifting perspectives and focusing on Andean regions and their artists, this talk aims to change the stories we tell about the development, acceptance, practice, and roles of abstraction in Latin America.
