Pan-American, Beatriz Milhazes. Paintings 1999 - 2012

The Malba-Fundación Costantini organized an exhibition that showcases the recent artistic production of Brazilian artist Beatriz Malhazes (Rio de Janeiro, 1960). Consisting of a selection of nearly 30 paintings and one scenographic intervention specially designed for the space of the gallery located on the Museum's second floor, the exhibition will remain open to the public until November 19.

Pan-American, Beatriz Milhazes. Paintings 1999 – 2012 is the first solo exhibition by Milhazes in a Latin American institution outside of Brazil, and MALBA made sure that it was fully produced. Curated by French Frédéric Paul, the show focuses on the last 10 years of Milhazes' artistic production. It includes pieces from private and public collections in Brazil and the US. The works showcased include two pieces loaned by the Guggenheim Museum in New York and one by the Museu de Arte Moderna in São Paulo.

The title of the exhibition, Pan-American, denotes the two-directional flow that exists between North and South, between the new and old West; elements that are at the center of Milhazes's preoccupations.

To accompany the exhibition, the MALBA published a 124-page Spanish-English bilingual catalog. It is the first reference publication in Spanish about an anthological exhibition by Beatriz Milhazes.
