During the mid-twentieth century, Latin American artists working in
several different cities radically altered the nature of modern
art. Reimagining the relationship of art to its public, these
artists granted the spectator a greater role than ever before in
the realization of the artwork. The first book to explore this
phenomenon on an international scale, Abstraction in Reverse traces
the movement as it evolved across South America and parts of
Europe. Alexander Alberro demonstrates that artists such as Tomas
Maldonado, Jesus Soto, Julio Le Parc, and Lygia Clark, in breaking
with the core tenets of the form of abstract art known as Concrete
art, redefined the role of both the artist and the spectator.
Instead of manufacturing autonomous artworks prior to the act of
viewing, these artists presented a range of projects that required
the spectator in order to be complete. Importantly, as Alberro
shows, these artists set aside regionalist art in favor of a
modernist approach that transcended the traditions of any
nation-state. Along the way, the artists fundamentally altered the
concept of the subject and of how art should address its audience,
a revolutionary development with parallels in the greater art
world.
