In 2021, the art market demonstrated resilience despite global challenges, with Frieze New York adopting a hybrid format that combined physical and digital elements. Brazilian galleries maintained international presence, with five participating in Art Basel's online edition and nine at ARCOmadrid 2020. The Parte Contemporary Art Fair continued operations, now primarily through internet platforms. An exhibition titled "Obscura luz" presented visual and discursive repertoire from the Luisa Strina archives.
