exhibition · 2026-04-23

An exhibition dedicated to Spanish artist Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012) is currently on display at the Bergamin & Gomide gallery in São Paulo from March 12 to April 27, showcasing thirteen pieces created from the 1970s onward. Historian Valentin Roma refers to this collection as a compilation of sculpture, canvas, installation, and paper. Tàpies, who hailed from Barcelona, is known for his unique abstract style, shaped by surrealism and linked to postwar European informalism. Other exhibitions running concurrently include 'Barracas e fachadas do nordeste' at Galeria Galatea Salvador until May 30, 'Greve Negra Já!' at MAES until April 26, and 'Frestas – Trienal de Artes' at Sesc Sorocaba until August 16, along with shows like 'Solidão Coletiva,' 'Marlene Barros: Tecitura do Feminino,' and 'O que elas viram' at IMS Paulista.
