Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona. Barcelona: 1960. Catalogue of the second exhibit at the newly organized Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona MACBA. Photo-illustrations of architect Antonio Bonet's work in Latin America are accompanied by an essay "La Nueva Ciudad Latina de Antonio Bonet" by Oriol Bohigas. Bonet 1913-1989 cofounded the architectural and design collective Grupo Astral in Buenos Aires inspired by the GATEPAC in Catalunya. The catalogue itself is a scarce artifact of the short-lived original MACBA program. The first iteration of the museum had been open for only three years 1960-1963 when it was closed for political reasons during the Franco regime. A museum of contemporary art was proposed by provincial authorities again in 1985 the new MACBA opened to the public in 1995. We are able to locate only one other copy in museum and library collections at the Museu Nacional d'art de Catalunya. Oblong 18.5 cm 12 pp.; b/w illus. throughout the architect's projects in Latin America primarily Argentina and Uruguay; stapled self-wrapper lightly worn.
