Abstract: After the long period of international isolation in which Spain was plunged after the civil war, the regime revealed in the fifties an openness attitude towards the outside world within culture as well as an unequivocal willingness of modernisation. In these years began to appear for the first time some signs of acceptance and even promotion of avant-garde art within the official authorities, such as the Hispano-American Art Biennials, the Spanish representation in the Biennials of Venice, Sao Paolo and Alexandria, and a series of exhibitions outside our borders between 1959 and 1964. The exhibition Arte de América y España (Art of the Americas and Spain) was the culmination of the work carried out by the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, at a time in what was termed the exhaustion of Informalism, a tendency that had been exploited insistently in the exhibitions sponsored by the regime.
