| book description |

Remains–Tomorrow: Themes in Contemporary Latin American Abstraction offers a thought-provoking perspective on the dynamic field of contemporary abstraction in Latin America. It proposes abstraction as an expanded field of reality in direct dialogue with life and as a strategy for critically examining the social, political, and cultural arenas. Highlighting 280 artists, the book explores different manifestations of post 90s Latin American abstraction, underlining its relationships to and differences from modern abstraction, and examines how it may relate to issues such as gender, interculturality, contextual specificity, popular culture, and the everyday. The book is structured by theme; it includes essays by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill and a historical essay by Juan Ledezma, as well as 28 short texts by participating artists. The publication contains biographies and over 700 illustrations. Remains–Tomorrow is an Abstraction in Action initiative of the Sammy Sayago Collection.
