Edited by Jean Clay between 1967 and 1971, Robho magazine was not - and was not intended to be - a magazine on Latin American art. Its editorial articles introduced an international scope of art issues. The magazine project rather aimed at shedding light on the cultural resistance activities against American-style capitalist expansion. In this approach, artists such as Buren, Haacke, Medalla or Takis were leading figures, together with a significant number of Latin American artists. With graphic design by Cruz-Diez, the magazine’s central articles were devoted to Madi art, Soto, Le Parc, Cruz-Diez, Lygia Clark and the Argentine collective experience Tucumán Burns.
