Descrição

The book presents an overview of the last 25 years of Vanderlei Lopes’ production, one of the artists who are crucial for understanding the visual arts made in Brazil since the late 1990s. As a depiction of a trajectory still in motion, this publication documents a range of works from his early years to more recent ones. Built up as a chronology in reverse, it reinstates, in a certain way, the excavation process of reasoning and construction of his work. With vast iconographic material, drafts, notes, and drawings, it presents with greater amplitude a considerable portion of his accomplishments. Along with this procedural material, it includes unpublished essays, critical and curatorial comments, signed by protagonists of the Brazilian art field such as Glória Ferreira, Afonso Luz, Diego Matos, Douglas de Freitas, José Bento Ferreira, Cauê Alves and Thiago Honório, in addition to a photo essay by Mauro Restiffe.
