Abstract (en)

Examines the extra-artistic reasons for the proliferation of Latin American art exhibitions at major American art museums and galleries in the 1980s. Notes that historically, blockbuster shows of Latin American art have appeared at politically strategic moments, and asserts that United States electoral politics, foreign policy, and international and domestic economics underlie the current "boom" in Latin American art.
