Published on the occasion of his solo show in New York, this catalog gathers 11 paintings by Martin Kazanietz -also known as Gordopelota- exploring fútbol and basketball as metaphors for cultural identity, dominance, and loss. Set against the backdrop of South America’s complex social history, these works reflect on defeat not as failure but as a shared human experience. With sharp commentary and a raw graphic style, this edition captures the spirit of resistance, irony, and resilience that defines Kazanietz’s practice.
