"Brazil: Body and Soul"
2001-10-19 until 2002-01-27
Guggenheim Museum
New York, NY, USA

This exhibition will explore several key periods of artistic production in Brazil, featuring Baroque masterpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries together with works of modern and contemporary art.

The juxtaposition of important works by indigenous, Afro-Brazilian, and European artists working in Brazil will underscore the complex, culturally diverse network of traditions influencing Brazil’s artistic development. As the title implies, the exhibition will emphasize the integration of the physical and spiritual experience in Brazilian art—the union of body and soul. The exhibition installation will be designed by noted French architect Jean Nouvel.
