Books

 

▶ Roberto Pignataro published three artistic books between 1968 and 1974. The goal was to present his artistic ideas in a format that would be more accessible to broader audiences and less ephemeral than conventional gallery-based art shows.

Each book was created differently, with varying styles, techniques and formats. What they shared in common was the premise of telling a story solely through the use of abstract imagery, a purely visual experience; therefore, any form of written language such as forewords, prefaces, manifestos, etc. was intentionally avoided.

At the time, the books were distributed to bookstores across Buenos Aires and also mailed out as promotional material to art-related entities around the world.
