Milestone 24. Facsimile editions: Arturo and Fiesta

In 2018, thanks to a project led by María Amalia García, Espigas launched its collection of facsimile editions. The first one was dedicated to the only issue of Arturo magazine from 1944. An attempt was made to reconstruct the production conditions at the time the work was produced, in addition to the dissemination of this important content for the history of the concrete avant-garde. As Agustín Diez Fischer said about the project, it was "an explicit call of attention to a material history that is disappearing, a history still to be told about art documents in Latin America". Later, Fiesta (1950) was published, with a special edition of three copies produced by Alberto Greco.
