The work of the 1960s Caracas-based art collective El Techo de la Ballena (The Roof of the Whale) was called “subversive†and “art terrorism†and seen as a threat to Venezuela's national image as an emerging industrial power. This volume details the historical and social contexts that shaped the collective, exploring its anti-art aesthetic.
