Taras Shevchenko monument in Buenos Aires, Bronze and granite monument in Plazoleta Gral. José Antonio Páez, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The monument displays a bronze statue approximately 3.5 meters tall depicting a figure in a wind-swept cape, set atop a red granite pedestal. The base features inscriptions and a granite relief work that completes the composition as a multi-element sculpture.
The monument was unveiled in 1971 as a commemoration marking 75 years since the first major wave of Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Argentina. It was erected to express the gratitude of this community toward their adopted country.
The monument honors a poet whose works shaped modern Ukrainian language and remain central to Ukrainian culture and education. Visitors can see inscriptions on the pedestal that reflect his enduring importance to Ukrainian identity.
The monument is located at Plazoleta Gral. José Antonio Páez and is freely accessible from the outside. A local foundation maintains the site and regularly organizes events here.
The sculpture was created through the collaboration of two artists from different countries: a Ukrainian-Canadian sculptor crafted the bronze figure while his Argentine counterpart designed the granite relief. This international partnership reflects the connection between the Ukrainian diaspora and their Argentine home.
