Leonardo Katz, one of the pioneers of Conceptualism in Latin America, lived in New York for many years before returning to his native Buenos Aires in 2005. He has favored long-term projects, often exploring subjects like the symbology of written alphabets or the representation of pre-Columbian art and architecture through a broad range of media, including artist’s books.
