Sérgio Camargo (1930-1990)

Schermafbeelding 2019-09-01 om 11.31.07

Camargo was an almost forgotten sculptor until there was a sudden raise of interest in Brazilian art in the Nineties. This meant that his works were considered to be important for the development in Modern Art and sculpture in Brasil. When you look at the studio pictures in the books that is for sale at www.ftn-books.com, you will soon conclude that Camargo was inspired by Brancusi and Chillida, but still there is so much of his own .

Where Brancusi was inspired by nature, Camargo is much more inspired by the minimal forms. It has been over 20 years now that the last show took place in Europe. Time again to present Camargo again and put his works into context with European and minimal sculptors.

The Nineties catalogue is available at www.ftn-books.com

Pedro Xisto (1901-1987) and Concrete Poetry

A not likely combination. Concrete Poetry and Brasil, but still there was a faithful group among the Brasilian artist who made Concrete Poetry and held exhibitions with them. One of them and perhaps the most famous among them, was Pedro Xisto. By chance i have bought a very nice publication by Xisto some 10 years ago and this is for sale at www.ftn-books.com. The books is in excellent condition and a typical artist book. Published in a limited edition and signed/dedicated by the artist and i believe this is the only one available on the internet at this moment. A rare chance to add this excellent publication to your collection.
