Abstract

Colombian artists were invited to participate in exhibition events abroad between 1943 and 1956. Three of them, which reveal dynamics for Western art, guide the structure of this article: The Latin-American Collection of the Museum of Modern Art (1943), 32 artistas de las Américas (1949) and the Hispano-American Biennial of Art (1951-1956). The research analyzes this period of artistic mobility and its effects, relying on secondary sources and information contained in documents belonging to the Museo Nacional de Colombia, the Museo de Arte de las Américas, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
