Os muitos e o um

The title "The many and the one" is the basis of this first exhibition organized from one of the largest and most important art collections in Brazil: "Andrea and José Olympio Pereira". In conducting the curatorship, the renowned American critic Robert Storr, with the support of Paulo Miyada, curator of the Tomie Ohtake Institute, opted to privilege individually powerful works, with their own power, regardless of possible dialogues that they can establish with other works and productions. For the exhibition, which will occupy all the exhibition spaces of the Tomie Ohtake Institute, the curator selected about three hundred pieces - painting, drawing, sculpture, installation and video - from more than one hundred Brazilian artists, among more than two thousand national and international works belonging to the private collection. According to him, it is an ensemble that, in addition to its monumentality, features iconic works from the production of many artists. The exhibition, therefore, provides a refined look at the contemporary Brazilian artistic panorama and its previous moment, when focusing on the production of the 1950s until today. "We are living a pluralistic era and also a moment of exceptional diversity and hybridity ... Nowhere is this pluralism richer, more heterogeneous and more fruitful than in the Americas; in no place in the Americas there is greater artistic effervescence of all kinds than in Brazil.
