黑料不打烊

I ARRIVED IN S脙O PAULO the day before Trump鈥檚 tariff 鈥淟iberation Day,鈥� which regrettably coincided with the opening of SP-Arte鈥攖he largest of Brazil鈥檚 art fairs鈥攁nd the vibe was clearly off.

Early sales suggest Brazil鈥檚 art scene is thriving despite a punitive tax system and global headwinds.

The April art fair calendar in 2025 is packed with cultural events you won't want to miss, including EXPO Chicago and Dallas Art Fair.

Although the country has weathered several crises in recent years, the ingredients for a successful art ecosystem have always been present.

In 2025, there is no shortage of art fairs taking place around the world. While the past several years have seen multiple new entries to the already packed calendar, particularly in Asian capital cities, so far 2025 promises just one new fair: Untitled Houston in Texas.

Now authenticated by the leading authority on Do Amaral, the work鈥檚 price has gone up 275%

Your individuality is important, but so is belonging.

An untitled painting attributed to the Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral that was being offered during S茫o Paulo鈥檚 SP Arte last week was a forgery, according to Jones Bergamin, the president.

A leading Brazilian auctioneer claims that the painting, which was offered for $3.2m in a private viewing during the fair, is a forgery.

While earlier editions saw more global participation, South America鈥檚 biggest art fair has become a regional showcase and a more inclusive reflection of Brazilian contemporary art.

While Brazil鈥檚 market is heavily weighted toward S茫o Paulo, the current 19th edition of the SP-Arte fair is showcasing some of the best contemporary art being across the country. 

Faced with more than 2300 artist applications, curators Raphael Fonseca and Ren茅e Akitelek Mboya, together with Videobrasil artistic director Solange Farkas, are in the midst of a monumental selection process for the 22nd Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil.
