“Lygia Pape: A Multitude of Forms”

Lygia Pape (1927–2004) was a seminal figure in Brazil’s postwar art scene, a participant in the Concrete and Neo-Concrete movements of the ’50s and ’60s whose work evolved from geometrically abstract paintings and sculptures to videos and installations that engaged social issues—including satirical jabs at the military government that ruled the country between 1964 and 1985. This show is Pape’s first retrospective in the United States.
