One of the most innovative Brazilian artists of the 20th century Hélio Oiticica played a key role in the country's Tropicalia art movement and in the overall development of Latin American art and culture. Beginning with formal abstracts on paper he progressed to creating labyrinths works that could be worn as clothing structures hung from the ceiling and color-themed works that featured pure vivid pigments. The large-scale environments Oiticica created towards the end of his career opened up new sensory worlds for gallery visitors inviting them to take off their shoes and walk in sand or share the exhibition space with live tropical parrots. Illustrated with hundreds of color plates and figures some filling two pages this catalog presents a retrospective of a remarkable career little known in the United States.
