The starting point is the studio, a place that provokes a widespread fascination, but the book Workspaces of Latin American Artists goes far beyond these four walls and reveals unique workspacesf 26 artists and photographers. With images made by photographer Fran Parente and interviews of journalist and art critic Beta Germano the book invites the reader to enter these intimate environments of artistic making and know a little more of the personality that inhabits each of them. "Although the photographs stand primarily as records of studio architecture, whether in the guise of mobile studios, the cities themselves, or locations used by these visual artists for research and reflection, each of the workspaces revealed is unique. This is an investigation of the conditions that are necessary to the materialization of works of art, as well as meditation on an often introspective and solitary craft." --Page [9].
