In 2001, Eduardo Costantini, the founder of the Museo de Arte
Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), began collecting artworks
from across Latin America. Today, the renowned Costantini
Collection consists of more than two hundred works, encompassing
drawings, paintings, sculptures, and objects by seventy-eight
artists from various countries, including Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, and
Venezuela. In the spirit of cultural exchange, MALBA and the
International Center for the Arts of the Americas (ICAA) at the
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, are joining together to exhibit fifty
of these works, spanning from the beginning of the 20th century to
the present day. Among the celebrated artists represented in this
beautiful book are Frida Kahlo, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Matta, and
Diego Rivera. Also of note are works by Tarsila do Amaral, Rafael
Barradas, Antonio Berni, and Alfredo Guttero. An interview by Mari
Carmen Ramirez with Costantini sheds light on his philosophy of
collecting, and texts by Marcelo Pacheco offer insights into the
broad range of modern and contemporary art created in Latin
America. Distributed for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
