MAM Rio's 75th Anniversary Exhibition Explores Anita Malfatti and Brazilian Modernism
The Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio) is marking its 75th anniversary with an exhibition delving into five thematic areas, including a focus on Anita Malfatti and the Grupo dos Cinco. This coincides with the centenary of the Semana de Arte Moderna, adding a melancholic reflection on overlooked female artists. A separate show celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Fundação Edson Queiroz, featuring both historical and contemporary works. Additionally, MASP has enriched its collection through a comodato agreement with B3, introducing new acquisitions.
