Argentine Informalism incorporated processes which went against the “good taste” of the local practices. Based on the existential poetry of the time, through spontaneous gestures and the use of discarded material, it violated the limits of the traditional artistic genre and opened the road to the concept of the object, the installations and the art of action.

Besos brujos, 1965
Towards the end of April or beginning of May 1965, Greco was back in Spain. He remained in Madrid where he made an “action” at the Edurne Gallery, with Millares and the ZAJ Group. He later traveled to Ibiza. A little afterwards, in Barcelona, three months before his 35th birthday, he put an end to his life.
