Some of these artists used novel synthetic materials, creating objects that offered an alternative to established traditions in painting--proposing that these objects become part of everyday, concrete reality. Combining art historical and scientific analysis, experts from the Getty Conservation Institute and Getty Research Institute are collaborating with the Colecci n Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, a world-renowned collection of Latin American art, to research the formal strategies and material decisions of these artists working in the concrete and neo-concrete vein. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Art Concrete \u003c\/i\u003epresents works by Lygia Clark, Willys de Castro, Judith Lauand, Ra l Lozza, H lio Oiticica, and Rhod Rothfuss, among others, with spectacu-lar new photography. The photographs, along with information about the now-invisible processes that determine the appearance of these 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pia Gottschaller, Aleca Le Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606065297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606065297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Conservation Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 9.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Pia Gottschaller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058942111999,"sku":"9781606065297","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caa107c0-5512-43f9-b299-a48e22442e6c.jpg?v=1685055349","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-art-concrete-pia-gottschaller-9781606065297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
