description This essay analyses two proposals for new readings of the historiography of Latin American art made by two Argentine researchers, to begin to establish what questions are asked today by art historians, where are they directing their efforts to, and if there are meeting points between them. The first proposal is that of Diana Weschler (2008). Her work raises the following questions: Is it valid to think about modern Latin American art outside the perspective of reflexive modernities (see Beck, 1986, 1996; Beck, Giddens, y Lash, 1994)? What are the implications for Latin American historiography of thinking about Modernity as a co-production? What events the concept ";Road Map"; enables us to think about?   The second one is that of María Soledad García (2009), who wonders what elements would shape a critical history of art: which historiographical principles would include the work of a critical history? How it might develop? Both works (Weschler, 2008 and García, 2009) give us a first approach to what is being discussed today in the field of Latin American art historiography, a discipline that has a tradition of six decades in Argentina, whereas in Colombia has just begun.
