With New Perspectives in Latin American Art, 1930-2006, MoMA rolls out more than 200 recently acquired works by Latin American artists, many of whom — it'll be apparent — warrant their own retrospectives. There's a wealth of interesting abstraction here, with moody canvases by Argentineans Guillermo Kuitca and León Ferrari alongside iterative line drawings and bent-wire sculptures by the German-born Venezuelan artist Gego. Representing Brazil, Vik Muniz goes to elaborate extremes to stage his images, in one scene arranging a warehouse full of junk to recreate Caravaggio's Narcissus. Peruvian draftsman Fernando Bryce devotes himself to handmade replicas of newspaper clippings, photographs, and official documents, forming a selective archive of 20th-century history.
