The rich œuvre of Lygia Pape and her pioneering approach to abstraction and multisensorial art are showcased in this catalogue, spanning sculptures, prints and paintings to installations and films.
Lygia Pape, a founding member of Brazil’s neo-concrete movement, pioneered a unique approach to abstraction and valued art that favored the primacy of viewers’ sensorial experiences. This catalog, published on the occasion of Lygia Pape’s 2018 solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth New York, brings together a variety of works from the artist’s rich oeuvre, from sculptures, prints, and paintings, to installations and films. It focuses particularly on the series Tecelares (1952–59), Ttéias (2003) and Amazoninos (1989–2003). Designed by Damien Saatdjian, the publication includes a 2009 conversation between Pape’s daughter Paula Pape, curator Paulo Herkenhoff, and poet Ferreira Gullar; and a newly commissioned text by art historian Alexander Alberro that explores multisensorial art with a focus on the works surveyed here.
