Informalism
in Argentina

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.
