Months ago I mentioned Hélio Oiticica retrospective, The Body of Colour, at Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and only yesterday I realised that the exhibition is travelling to Tate Modern! Oiticica’s works will be on display from June 6 until September 23.
From Tate’s website:
Hélio Oiticica (1937–80) was one of the most innovative Brazilian artists of his generation and has come to be acknowledged as a significant figure in the development of contemporary art. Among his achievements was the original and uncompromising use of colour that was central to his practice, and thisis the first large-scale exhibition focusing on this key element in his work. Featuring more than 150 works, the exhibition includes several key series from 1955 onwards, some of which have not been seen publicly for more than thirty years.
