Pop, Nova Figuração, e após

"In 2015, two international mega exhibitions - The World Goes Pop, from Tate Modern in London and the US itinerant exhibition International Pop, promoted by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, have placed pop art in the core of worldwide art. Works of Antonio Dias, Wesley Duke Lee, Claudio Tozzi, Nelson Leirner, raimundo Colares, and Clauco Rodrigues among other artists stood out during these exhibitions. Anticipating this movement with a bold attitude towards the market, Ricardo Camargo Gallery held the exhibition Vanguarda Tropical in 2007, gathering 44 works from eight outstanding artists of Brazilian art in the 60s. Today with "Pop , Nova Figuraçäo e Após", Ricardo Camargo Gallery ends a cycle and, at the same time, opens new horizons. The exhibition displays 58 works, 18 of which have never been seen by 25 cutting edge national artists who have travelled between Pop Art and New Figuration." -- introduction.
