Abstract:
This article is the result of a doctoral research involving the theme of art in the 70s, the Brazilian and Spanish contexts. Supported by theory and method of psychoanalysis, analyzes works of two Brazilian artists and a group of Catalan artists. Reflects about the contingencies of certain acts of creation, as well as the utopian ideals that these artists put into play. It analyzes that the transformations brought about by contemporary art transform the concept of art object, approaching to what in psychoanalysis is called as object a.
