Abstract

Ricardo Carpani (1930-1997) was the creator of unmistakable images among the history of the social
art in Argentina. His drawings circulated in numerous posters that wallpapered the cities during
the sixties and the beginning of the seventies, they constituted marks of a visual culture of the period.
Since 2015, an interdisciplinary team is taking forward a project of cataloging and research on this
archive located at the Instituto de Investigaciones sobre el Patrimonio Cultural of Universidad Nacional
de San Martín (IIPC/Tarea-UNSAM). The aim of this article is to give an account of the particularities
of the Carpani Archive, the materiality of its documents and some conceptual and historiographic
considerations around it. The documents of the Carpani Archive are a key to develop new readings
of one of the most impacting imaginaries produced by a national artist along the 20th century.
