This book offers two distinct but complementary views of Buenos Aires. Horacio Coppola’s images introduce us to the city through his most emblematic images of the urban landscape, by means of which he constructed his own personal city: the streets of the city center and the suburbs, typical neighborhoods, changing buildings. The photographs that have been selected were taken between 1929 and 1936, and include several that have never before been printed, taken from the original negatives.

Facundo de Zuviría’s photographs attempt to strike a balance between urban landscapes and poetic abstraction, following Coppola’s spirit. As a result, they show building façades, storefronts and city neighborhoods that the artist considers reflect the depth and essence of Buenos Aires.
