BiblioNoticias No. 99, March 1999 Editor: Ann Hartness ARGENTINE ART: SELECTED SOURCES Compiled by Laura Gutiérrez-Witt Argentina is a major center for Latin American art where artists thrive, particularly in the vibrant and active cultural milieu of Buenos Aires, but also in the provincial capitals. Known and appreciated around the world, Argentine artists of the twentieth century have consistently absorbed global artistic trends without losing their national identity. Printed works about art and artists are produced by many Argentine publishers: museums, galleries, academic institutions, commercial publishers, and government agencies. This bibliography complements BiblioNoticias no. 94, "Latin American Art: Selected Sources," which lists the more general reference sources covering all or major regions of Latin America. Both bibliographies should be consulted in order to compile a more complete listing of sources on Argentine art. Additional sources for Argentine art can be found in the library catalog under "Art, Argentine" and "Art—Argentina," as well as under medium-specific forms, for example, "Painting— Argentina."
