This coming month, starting on Feb. 11th, New York will receive the largest exhibit ever organized in the United States on the work of the late Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973); a seminal Latin American Modernism representative. The exhibit will be held by the New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

The Brazilian artist Margot Jabbour looked for inspiration in the lives of women from the middle-east to put together the exhibit "Los Colores del Refugio" (Haven's colors). The show displays 20 pieces which will be on display at the Diário de Ibiza's Cultural Center, in Spain, from November 7th to 24th.

Connecticut's Lyman Allyn Museum displays the exhibit "Bandits & Heroes, Poetas & Saints: Popular Art of The Northeast of Brazil", with pieces by artists from Brazil's northeast portraying the local customs and scenes.

The exhibit "Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist", curated by the Jewish Museum of New York, can be visited until October 3rd, in the Art Gallery of the Deutsche Bank, in Berlin.

The Met Breuer, the Metropolitan Museum space dedicated to Contemporary Art, opened this March 20th the exhibit “Lygia Pape - A Multitude of Forms”, a retrospective of the artist's work. This is the solo exhibit of an Latin American artist at the Met Breuer and it portraits Lygia Pape's body of the work in sculpture, prints, and painting to installation, photography, performance, and film. The gallery will hold "A Multitude of Forms" until July 23rd.

Pape (1927-2004) is one of the key figures in Brazilian Modern Art. In 1957, as part of the "Grupo Frente" she signed the "Manifesto Neoconcreto"; and, in 1959, together with Helio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, she started the Neoconcretism movement. The movement focused on geometric abstraction and experimentation, making the statement that art is not a mere object.

In the work that spanned five decades, Pape sought to approximate artistic objects to real life, uniting geometric abstractions to body, time and space. Works such as "Roda dos Prazeres" (1967), "Divisor" (1968) and "Banquete Tupinambá" (2000) are considered highlights of the artist's career.
