Conversaciones/Conversations is a series of bilingual books composed of unique in-depth conversations, some spanning decades, between Latin American artists, leading critics, curators, and art historians. Each illustrated volume presents a comprehensive first-hand account of the artist’s development accompanied by critical reflections by the authors, and include introductory essays by esteemed intellectuals, such as Robert Storr, Andrea Giunta, Gregory Volk, and Alejandro Crispiani.
The series was first published in print format in 2010, under an imprint created by the FC/CPPC to support its mission to encourage scholarship and enhance appreciation of Latin American art and ideas, and to promote excellence in visual-arts education. To this end, the FC/CPPC is committed to utilizing digital media and new technologies as they are developed.
The print book series is distributed by D.A.P (www.artbook.com) in the United States, and Editorial RM (www.editorialrm.com) in Spain and Latin America.
