Works

Ferrari worked across drawing, sculpture, and installation, creating politically charged works that critiqued authoritarianism and religious power. His most famous work, "La Civilización Occidental y Cristiana" (1965), a crucifix covered in a model fighter plane, became an icon of Latin American conceptual art. His retrospectives at MoMA and major European institutions established him as a crucial voice in political art.
