North Dakota Museum of Art and Charta, Milan, 2006. Author: Laurel Reuter with preface by Lawrence Weschler. 112 pages,88 illustrations/82 in color, paperback, English and Spanish. Based upon the internationally touring exhibition which brings together the work of twenty-five living artists from South America who, over the course of the last thirty years, have made art about Los Desaparecidos or the disappeared. These artists have lived through the horrors of the military dictatorships that rocked their countries in the latter years of the twentieth century. Some worked in the resistance; some had parents or siblings who were disappeared; others were forced into exile. The youngest were born into the aftermath of those dictatorships. And still others live in countries maimed by endless civil war.
