Specialists Recommend Works at SP-Arte Viewing Room
27 Aug 2020, 8:53 am
An art fair’s greatest strength lies in bringing together, for a few days and in the same environment, all the actors in the arts circuit: gallerists, artists, curators, academics, assemblers, cultural producers, collectors etc. The event enables connections, exchanges and collective learning – and an online version is no different.
Through SP-Arte Viewing Room, we can reach audiences outside the axis, who can visit Latin America’s biggest art fair from any part of Brazil, from the comfort of their own homes. SP-Arte invited a selection of qualified consultants and art collectors to browse our virtual platform and tell us which works they most enjoyed coming across in this new experience. Their recommendations reflect the diversity of this the first edition of SP-Arte Viewing Room. Check them out!

Monica Tachotte (BSB), Art Consultant
“Five works is not a lot! But of the young artists, I was impressed by Maya and Mulambö. I thought the chromatic question and poetics were incredibly well resolved by both, it’s a mix of acid colours with tropicality. Another work that caught my attention was “Ovo Cósmico” by Regina Vater, an artist who was already in the MOMA collection in the 70’s and who impressed in the Radical Women exhibition, and continues to impress with highly assertive conceptual works, and it’s always good to see artists from the 70’s and 80’s being represented. And the final two works I’ve chosen were by Leonilson and Torres-Garcia, which are two historic works that show important phases in the productions of both artists.”
