Mayer Center, Latin American Art

Latin American Contemporary Art

In addition to designing posters dedicated to his exhibitions, Edgardo Giménez also designed posters for fellow contemporary artists and art events. This example is part of a series of promotional posters devoted to a commercial art space in Buenos Aires, created by Marta and Jorge Romero Brest, with support from Edgardo Giménez, titled Fuera de caja – Centro de Arte para Consumir (Out of the box – Center of Art to be Consumed). Here, Giménez starts to play with the images of animals, planets, and other recognizable figures found across 1960s propaganda.
