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.
1972
He spoke about “El arte, su desarrollo, promoción y mercado” (Art, its development, promotion and market) at the Encuentro de artistas plásticos del cono sur in Santiago de Chile. The daily La Opinión published his article “El dinero es el único vínculo entre el artista y el comprador” (Money is the only link between artist and buyer).
Together with Grupo de los 13 –Bedel, Benedit, Ginsburg, Grippo, González Mir, Glusberg, Marotta, Pazos, Portillos, Romero, etc.– and other conceptual artists, he took part in the show Hacia un perfil del Arte Latinoamericano (Towards a Profile of Latin American Art), organized by CAYC at the Museo Caraffa in Córdoba.
Due to the intolerance of certain sectors, a bomb exploded at dawn on November 1 in Berni’s house causing multiple material damages. He was in France, demounting an exhibition.
