This paper will inquire the presence and circulation of nativism in the Argentine art market between 1910 and 1970. To that end, I will first reconstruct the context of emergence of nativism as a thematic field and, later, I will address two cases which constitute paradigms of survival—the trajectory of Jorge Bermúdez (one of the first nativist artists to achieve success) and the work of Antonio Berni (which circulated through the market during the second half of the century). As a general hypothesis, I will maintain that the prolonged life of nativism was accompanied by a constant presence of these works in private collections and galleries.
