Over the last four and a half decades, Lothar Baumgarten has drawn wide acclaim and respect for his powerful body of work, centered on ethnography and anthropology, using a wide range of media to question the very core ideas and systems of representation - from ephemeral sculptures, to photography, slide projections, 16 mm film works, recordings, drawings, prints, books, short stories, as well as site-specific works and wall drawings and architecture-related interventions. America Señores Naturales retraces the history of one of Lothar Baumgarten's most famous site-specific interventions from 1984, Señores Naturales, and uses it as a point of departure to delve back into the key concepts surrounding his oeuvre, with a special focus on the artist's early years. Featuring a large selection of images from the artist's archive, published here for the first time, this volume offers an insight into Baumgarten's process and practice.
