Abstract

Located the phenomenon of Pop Art in Argentina between 1965 and 1975 and leaving the strictly institutional rails of art studied for some time, this adopts, as a heuristic, the compilation logic of collectors. Pop Art used its own weapons to achieve the same thing that popular culture has done throughout history with serious genres. What is the common element behind its interest on terror imagery? Why review those marginal elements, eliminated from the circulation of culture and nature to transform them, when they are included in a collection, into recognized products that once again receive the aura unique from exclusive? This work presents a record of elements that have something in common and that share a certain interest in the Argentine Pop Artworks that we selected for its analysis.
