Cultural Diplomacy

Formal Exchange: The Albright-Knox Art Gallery and Latin America is featuring Latin American abstraction from the 1960s and 1970s through June 25. The exhibit includes wall text that tells the story of Seymour H. Knox Jr. and the gallery’s commitment to acquiring contemporary art from all over the world, and his trips to Latin America to play polo. One hundred nine works in the Albright-Knox were loaned to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1969. The works in Formal Exchange exhibit show experimentation in abstraction, op art and minimalism, with beautiful attention to color and spatial concerns. Artists in the exhibit include: Martha Boto, Sergio de Camargo, Eduardo Mac Entyre, Julio Le Parc, Cesar Paternosto, Jesus Raphael Soto, Josefina Robirosa and Luis Tomasello.
