Possibilities of the Object, Experiments in Modern and Contemporary Brazilian Art

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 Brazilian artists such as Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark and Mira Schendel with 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.

Written by Paulo Venancio Filho with a foreword by Briony Fer and biographies of the artists compiled by Stacy Boldrick.
