The editorial categories are research topics that have guided researchers during the recovery phase and continue to be the impetus behind the Documents Project’s digital archive and the Critical Documents book series. Developed by the project’s Editorial Board, each of the teams analyzed this framework and adapted it to their local contexts in developing their research objectives and work plans during the Recovery Phase.

This document is a critical text that analyzes the rise of the group Siete Pintores Abstractos [Seven Abstract Painters]. The group was formed in 1957 without any previous theoretical proposals. The text emphasizes that in this case, and in contrast to other nonfigurative groups, Siete Pintores Abstractos was composed of artists with a defined trajectory: Clorindo Testa, Osvaldo Borda, Víctor Chab, Kasuya Sakai, Josefina Miguens, Rómulo Macció, and Martha Peluffo.
The first exhibition by the Grupo Siete Pintores Abstractos was presented at Galería Pizarro, October 1–19, 1957.
