"The Daros Latinamerica Collection, based in Zurich, is one of the most comprehensive private collections of contemporary art from Latin America. It includes over one thousand works by more than a hundred artists, comprising both individual works and groups of works in all media and genres, created mainly from the 1960s to the present day [...] From 2006, the Daros Latinamerica Collection developed Casa Daros in Rio de Janeiro as a platform for Latin American art, staging thematic and monographic work shows from 2013 to 2015. More than 20 exhibitions as well as numerous performances, lectures, artist talks, workshops, and other artistic projects presented successfully the key elements of the collection in Brazil, while at the same time creating a lively dialogue on Latin American art in Latin America." --'About' page.
"The Journal of Art Historiography exists to support and promote the study of the history and practice of art historical writing. The historiography of art has been strongly influenced by traditions inaugurated by Giorgio Vasari, Winckelmann and German academics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Consequent to the expansion of universities, museums and galleries, the field has evolved to include areas outside of its traditional boundaries."--Mission statement.
"This site is an index to Avalanche, an artist journal published in New York City from 1970-1976 by Willoughby Sharp and Liza Béar. Thirteen issues were published, one through eight in magazine format (Avalanche Magazine), nine through thirteen in tabloid newspaper format (Avalanche Newspaper).
Avalanche is closely associated with post-minimalist, post-studio conceptual artists in the United States and Europe. The journal is notable for its insistence in letting artists speak on behalf of their work and is replete with artist interviews conducted by Sharp and/or Béar, documentation of performances, and pieces created for the magazine. Avalanche is an important primary source for the study of the conceptual art scene in New York in the early 1970s. For the authoritative history of Avalanche Magazine, read Béar and Sharp’s Early History of Avalanche (London: Chelsea Space, 2005) which covers the the period when the magazine was being developed through the first two years of publication (1968-1972)."--About page.
