Established in 1997, Luciana Brito Galeria has performed a pivotal
role in the consolidation of the local art market, and has been one of
the pioneering Brazilian galleries at leading art fairs.
While we do not hold any set curatorial biases, the gallery has
internationally renowned standards for casting artists, and plays an
important two-way role: both to disseminate the Brazilian art worldwide
and to promote locally the work of globally relevant artists. As the
Brazilian representative of Alex Katz, Allan McCollum, Anthony McCall,
Leandro Erlich, Liliana Porter and Marina Abramovic, the gallery was
responsible for the first solo show of those artists here.
We also try to balance the presence of emerging artists (such as
Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich, Paula Garcia, Rafael Carneiro, Raphael Zarka,
Tiago Tebet) with
those who are acknowledged by art history, such as the artists
mentioned above, as well as Geraldo de Barros and Waldemar Cordeiro –
the two major names of Brazilian constructivism, who attained national
and international recognition thanks to our efforts over several years.
The gallery also plays a decisive role in both building and
projecting its artists’ careers, and in preserving and propagating
highly important artistic legacies, such as those of Thomaz Farkas and
Garpar Gasparian. Not to mention, of course, the dissemination of other
active and established artists, such as Caio Reisewitz, Eder Santos,
Fabiana de Barros & Michel Favre, Héctor Zamora, João Luiz Musa,
Lucas Bambozzi, Mônica Nador, Pablo Lobato, Raphael Zarka, Regina
Silveira, Ricardo Basbaum, Rochelle Costi, Tobias Putrih and Saint Clair
Cemin.
