Description

A guidebook to the new exhibition of the museum's collection, its first major change in a decade. The exhibition brings together about 1,000 works by more than 400 artists, from the 17th century to today; paintings, drawings and prints are displayed alongside sculptures, videos and installations. Publication and exhibition mark the 115th anniversary of the Pinacoteca of São Paulo. The institution was founded in 1905, as part of the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, with an initial collection of 26 paintings by artists such as José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, Pedro Alexandrino, Oscar Pereira da Silva and Berthe Worms, among others, many of which will be part of the new presentation. "This Visitation Guide accompanies the new exhibition of the collection of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, which brings together about 1,000 works by more than 400 artists. Following the theme organization of the exhibition, th guidebook presents, in addition to some texts of the exhibition, specific comments on some of the main works of the collection of pinacoteca. These comparative analyses aim to counteract different artists, languages and temporalities, in order to characterize a look at the collection from the present and to reverse urgent questions of the contemporary world."
