This exhibition has closed

It closed on 13 September 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo: Latin American Histories, Pablo Delano: The Museum of the Old Colony, Rosa Elena Curruchich: Chronicles of Comalapa.

Visiting Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo

Thirty-five works over three decades on the two underfloors of the Lina Bo Bardi building: Cosmic Thing, a Volkswagen Beetle dismantled and hung as a diagram; Controller of the Universe, tools caught mid-explosion; and Monster, built from construction debris.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
