Juan Melé, Irregular Frame n0.2, 1946.

Radical Geometry-  Modern Art of South America from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection debruça-se sobre as vanguardas da América Latina entre os décadas de 1930 e 1970, com destaque para artistas como Gego, Helio Oiticica, Joaquin Torres-Garcia, entre outros. Para ver, em Londres, até 28 de Setembro.
