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.

Other participants are Benedit, Bony, Elía, Ferrari, Grippo, Heredia, Jorge Macchi, Cristina Piffer, Liliana Porter, Graciela Sacco and Edgardo Vigo.
He received another career achievement prize, this time the Jorge Romero Brest, awarded by the Asociación Argentina de Críticos de Arte.
