1928 - 1997

Born in La Plata (Argentina).

In the course of his career, the Argentine artist and poet Edgardo Antonio Vigo (1928-1997) publishes several magazines. As a promoter of visual poetry, he uses the magazine as a mouthpiece for his compositions and those of his peers, which are difficult to publish. Like other neo-avant-garde work of the sixties, the 'integration' of the various art forms plays an important role in the process. Together with the painter Miguel Angel Guerena, Vigo publishes his first magazine in 1958, called WC, soon followed by a second,DRKW. The latter however was short-lived too. It is only with Diagonal Cero, and its first issue in 1962, that Vigo succeeds in giving greater coherence and permanence to his publications.
