Abstract
The Guggenheim and Carnegie Internationals served as influential platforms for curators and critics to propagate their visions of the global art world in the 1960s. As Cold War tensions escalated, much was at stake in the branding of international art and Latin America's position within it. In these US exhibitions, geopolitical discord and cultural specificity became sublimated in order to stage internationalism in terms of unity and harmony. The exhibition format forced critics and curators to directly confront globalization, inciting attitudes ranging from progressive inclusivity to chauvinistic assertions of western art's supremacy, and sparking thorny debates regarding international style, formalism, objective quality in art, and cultural categorization.
