Beschreibung

Square 4to. Well illustrated. Original illustrated wrappers. Scarce catalogue of an important Kosice exposition, held in the Centro de Artes Visuales of the Instituto Torcuato di Tella, Buenos Aires, in 1968. [Kosice] "is remembered for his innovative contributions to the kinetic art movement in Argentina. He was the first to use neon light and gas, creating nonrepresentational patterns in his sculptures. He created many monumental sculptures, hydrospatial walks, and hydrowalls using these elements." (SOURCE: Barnitz and Frank, Twentieth-Century Art of Latin America (2001), pp. 149-150). Born in Czechoslovakia in 1924 as Ferdinand Fallik, the artist became naturalized Argentinan citizan, changing his name to Kosice after his birthplace. Sculptor, plastic artist, theorist, and poet, Kosice was fundamental in developing concrete art in Argentina and became highly respected internationally. He died in 2016. Ours is the only copy currently on the market. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1954
