Brazilian Art Blooms in New York : Spring Auctions & Art Fairs Report
This spring, the Brazilian art market arrived in New York not with fireworks, but with quiet confidence. Across the city’s most influential stages, Frieze, TEFAF, and the leading auction houses, Brazilian art held its ground, with steady, strategic presence. At Frieze, the rhythm was brisk and contemporary, with high-volume sales centered around living artists. Meanwhile, TEFAF offered a more meditative tempo: a curated homage to Brazil’s 20th-century legacy, where Brazilian galleries like Luciano Britto and Nara Roesler showcased museum-worthy selections—from Waldemar Cordeiro solo presentation to dialogues between Maria Martins and historical Brazilian. International galleries took a different approach, choosing to spotlight their Brazilian blue-chip artists: Janaina Tschäpe, Dalton Paula, clear signals of the country’s export power.
