This dossier covers forty years of Norberto Gómez’s work, from his minimalist constructions of 1966 and 1967 to the anti-monuments he produced in polyester and bronze in the nineties. In between, his series of “guts”, organic remains, weapons and “plasters” punctuate a long career that has enriched the Argentine art scene.

during the Jornadas de la Crítica and is organised by Jorge Gluseberg at the Galería Del Retiro, as part of the post-figuración group.
On this occasion the artists are asked to link their work to a specific place; photographs of public buildings are then shown alongside every artist’s pieces, reflecting their creative concerns. Gómez presents the façade of the Recoleta cemetery, as captured by the photographer Menassé, in combination with one of his polyester works which shows bare bones resembling a tomb.
He attends the exhibition Arte Argentino Contemporáneo at the Tokyo Biennial, and takes part in the Premio de Escultura Fundación Shaw (“Shaw Foundation Sculpture Prize”) exhibition, organised by the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires. The Asociación Argentina de Críticos de Arte awards him a prize for best drawings of the year.
