Description: "This book examines the pioneering role Brazilian artists played in the innovative international art scene of the 1950s to 1970s. Connecting the work of well-known and widely-exhibited Brazilians artists such as Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark and Mira Schendel with the work of some of their lesser-known contemporaries and the younger generation of artists that followed, it is a celebration of some of the beautiful and artistically radical sculptures with which Brazilian artists have tried to redefine what an art object can actually be"--Page [4] of cover.
Notes: This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Possibilities of the Object: Experiments in Modern and Contemporary Brazilian Art, 6 March - 25 March 2015, the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh.
