Abstract
In chapter 5, Frank traces the spread of Nueva Figuración’s international renown, discussing the artists’ growing number of group shows and related reviews in U.S. and European magazines. Comparing it to the postmodern treatise The Anti-Aesthetic by Hal Foster, Frank examines Noé’s Antiestética, a theoretical text in which he extolled chaos as a value in art and announces his views on other dominant movements of the day such as Pop Art. Frank closes on the dissolution of Nueva Figuración: with the art scene in Argentina trending toward Pop and related styles and with Marta Minujín staging “Happenings” and proclaiming that painting was dead, the New Figurationists had one final group show in Buenos Aires and then went their separate ways.
