If you regularly read my columns here at London Art Walk, you’ll already know this: São Paulo is a must-visit cultural destination for art lovers — and for many reasons, which I’ll break down here.
Tate Modern turns 25 in May. To celebrate the anniversary of one of UK’s largest museums of modern and contemporary art, we bring a selection of five works by Brazilian artists currently on display at Tate’s permanent collection exhibition.
São Paulo is a global art capital. Every art lover should visit its world-class galleries and museums. Here, we highlight 3 must-see galleries and 3 iconic institutions. Ready to explore?
On view at London’s Royal Academy of Arts (RA) through April 2025, “Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism” is a large exhibition spanning decades of history, from the 1910s to the 1970s.
When the viewer first enters the exhibition of works by Ficre Ghebreyesus (1962-2012) at Modern Art in London, his first show in the United Kingdom, they encounter a diverse collection of work, with sixteen paintings of different sizes and formal approaches, which somehow appear to form a coherent whole.
Verena Loewensberg (1912-1986) was one of the most influential figures of the Zurich school of concrete artists, whose work evolved from these principles. The current exhibition of her work at Hauser & Wirth in London presents paintings from the 1960s to the 1980s in which Loewensberg disrupts some elements of the rigid norms of concrete art.

We absolutely loved the result of this project! ❤️ This spacious corridor, with its high ceiling and generous proportions, beautifully showcases the harmony between art and architecture. Manoel Veiga’s vibrant works, full of colour and movement, create a striking dialogue with Burle Marx’s print, where abstract shapes and textures perfectly complement one another. The surrounding space enhances this connection, creating a sense of flow that ties the artwork and architecture together. It truly feels like a gallery in its own right.
🇧🇷 Estamos absolutamente apaixonados pelo resultado deste projeto! Este corredor espaçoso, com seu pé-direito alto e proporções generosas, destaca lindamente a harmonia entre arte e arquitetura. As obras vibrantes de Manoel Veiga, repletas de cor e movimento, criam um diálogo marcante com a gravura de Burle Marx, onde formas e texturas abstratas se complementam perfeitamente.

Barrão’s work, installed in this countryside house, takes on new meaning by connecting with the domestic space, evoking the idea of a family home where everyday objects become central to a unique narrative. By transforming broken ceramics and porcelain collected over the years, Barrão creates floor sculptures that breathe new life into the old, reflecting the personal history and sentimental value attached to each object. Much like in family homes, where inherited and collected items hold emotional significance, this installation reflects the life cycle of objects—how they are reused, recycled, and redefined, blending nostalgia with contemporary aesthetics.
The floor sculptures are central to Barrão’s artistic practice, inviting viewers to engage with the space as the objects, once utilitarian, take on new, artistic lives. Incorporating discarded items, the sculptures challenge their original functions, making the floor an active part of the artwork. This approach blurs the lines between sculpture and everyday life, encouraging reflection on the value and meaning of the objects around us, while fostering intimacy and interaction with the piece.
🇧🇷 A obra de Barrão, instalada em uma casa de campo, transforma objetos cotidianos, como cerâmicas e porcelanas quebradas, em esculturas de piso que ressignificam o antigo e refletem histórias pessoais e afetivas. Ao criar essas obras, Barrão mistura nostalgia e estética contemporânea, desafiando a funcionalidade dos objetos e convidando o espectador a interagir com o espaço. Suas esculturas, ao integrar-se ao ambiente, estimulam uma reflexão sobre o valor dos itens que nos cercam, promovendo uma experiência íntima e transformadora com a arte.

Since we are talking about @martaminujin, we cannot forget the remarkable exhibition “Marta Minujín: Live” held at the @pinacotecasp in 2023. Among her most iconic and politically charged works is El Pago de la Deuda Externa Argentina con Maíz, “El Oro Latinoamericano” (1985). In this photo performance, Minujín proposed paying Argentina’s external debt with corn, which she called “Latin American gold.” The work depicts Minujín, embodying Argentina, alongside Andy Warhol, representing the United States, engaging in a symbolic negotiation using sacks of corn. With sharp irony, the artist critiqued unequal economic relationships and cultural stereotypes, shedding light on Argentina’s precarious political and economic situation during the country’s return to democracy, a time marked by rampant inflation and alarming levels of debt.
🇧🇷 Na exposição “Marta Minujín: Ao Vivo”, realizada na Pina Luz em 2023, destacou-se a obra El Pago de la Deuda Externa Argentina con Maíz, “El Oro Latinoamericano” (1985). Nessa fotoperformance, Minujín propôs pagar a dívida externa argentina com milho, simbolizando “o ouro latino-americano”. A obra, que traz Andy Warhol representando os EUA em uma negociação simbólica, critica as relações econômicas desiguais e os estereótipos culturais, oferecendo um comentário irônico sobre a crise econômica e política da Argentina no período da redemocratização.
