En busca del significado: el cuerpo, la psiquis y el objeto de arte

Abstract

From the fifties through the nineties, corporeal expression in the Fine Arts has undergone profound changes in meaning. This article traces the dominant currents of those changes, from the drip paintings of Pollock, to the conceptual work of Felix Gonzalez Torres to the recent cyborg-inspired work of artists such as Tony Oursler. In so doing, it contributes to elucidating the relation of the body to the art object throughout the Jater half of the twentieth century.
