As a commemoration of the birth of Antonio Berni (1905-1981) we offer a broad panorama of his life and his production. Through a thematic study, a chronology and several reproductions and documentary images, we travel across the work of this remarkable creator, one of the most outstanding artists in Argentina and Latin America.
1964
A retrospective with more than a hundred of his works, organized by the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, was held at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, in Santiago de Chile.
He shared with Tinguely, Burri, Saint Phalle, and others, the show prefaced by Gassiot-Talabot Mythologies Quotidiennes at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Together with Greco, Ferrari, Heredia, Brizzi, Noé, Robirosa, Minujin, Renart, Santantonín and Wells he exhibited in Buenos Aires 64, at the Pepsi-Cola Exhibition Gallery of New York.
In Objeto 64, organized at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, he presented together with the work of a group of young artists –Roberto Aizenberg, Edgardo Giménez, León Ferrari, Marta Minujin, Dalila Puzzovio, Emilio Renart, Rubén Santantonín, Pablo Suárez, Luis Alberto Wells– an object built with the skull of a Billy goat and cow bones.
