This room is dedicated to the exhibition Beyond Geometry, organized by the Instituto Di Tella (Buenos Aires) at the Center for Inter-American Relations in Nueva York in 1968. The selection makes evident the importance of geometric abstraction in Argentina at the end of the 1960s, and the slow passage to technological and conceptual art that is exhibited in the next room.
