Tropicalia: A Revolution in Brazilian Culture December 15, 2006

Tropicalia is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore one of the most significant chapters in modern cultural history, a period beginning in the late 1960s when daring experiments in Brazilian art, music, film, architecture and theater converged--and ignited. The exhibition revisits this seminal time in Brazil through more than 250 objects. Highlighting major historical works from the 1967 New Brazilian Objectivity exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, Tropicalia features artists Lygia Clark, Antonio Dias, Nelson Leirner, Helio Oiticica, and Lygia Pape, among others.
