Catalogue published on the occasion of the presentation of a collection of works by Edgardo Antonio Vigo in the Survey section of Art Basel Miami Beach 2017, by the Richard Saltoun Gallery of London. Edgardo Antonio Vigo (La Plata, 1928-1997) was a tireless Argentine experimental artist, a pioneer of the artistic avant-garde in Argentina and Latin America, who worked in visual poetry, conceptual art, woodcut, mail art and actions – his celebrated señalamientos . Between 1961 and 1969 he edited the magazine Diagonal Cero , a pioneering platform for visual poetry with international circulation, and between 1971 and 1975 the magazine Hexágono '71 . The catalog includes texts by Clemente Padín, Horacio Zabala, and Nicola Guastamacchia, and reproductions of works by Vigo alongside works by other artists in his network—including Dom Sylvester Houédard, Franciszka Themerson, Henri Chopin, and Li Yuan-Chia—who are part of the collection presented.
