Lygia Pape’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles

A prominent Brazilian artist of her generation, Lygia Pape’s artistic practice was not limited to one medium or genre, spanning the realms of sculpture, engraving, painting, drawing, performance, filmmaking, video and installation art. On view from April 24th through July 3rd in Hauser&Wirth Los Angeles gallery, the exhibition titled “Tupinambá” will bring focus to examining the artist’s unique reframing of geometry, abstraction and poetry.

Exhibited for the first time in the US, the works on view from the Tupinambá series – distinctive in their use of red feathers – illuminates Pape’s sense of connection to Brazil’s indigenous populations and their history. Unfolding across two galleries, the exhibition will feature the monumental spatial work ‘Manto Tupinambá’ (2000), a series of related sculptures and works on paper, as well as an emblematic Ttéia. The exhibition follows the artist’s critically acclaimed retrospective at the Met Breuer, New York, and participation in the Hammer Museum’s 2017 exhibition ‘Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960 – 1985.’
