Nara Roesler New York presents generational dialogues for 50th anniversary
Nara Roesler New York will mark its 50th anniversary in 2026 with a series of exhibitions pairing artists from different generations. The first show, 'Sobre a natureza das figuras,' brings together Amelia Toledo (1926–2017) and Cristina Canale (b. 1961). Despite differing media and procedures, both artists explore form in relation to nature and visual structures. Toledo, a key figure in 20th-century Brazilian art, bridges modernism and contemporary practice, having worked alongside Lygia Clark, Mira Schendel, and Lygia Pape.
