Grupo Frente

Galerie Lelong is pleased to present Grupo Frente, the first in-depth U.S. exhibition of the historic Rio de Janeiro-based artist group. The exhibition will include works by Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, Abraham Palatnik, Lygia Pape, and Ivan Serpa, and will shed light on lesser known members such as Aluísio Carvão, João José Costa, Rubem Ludolf, César Oiticica, and Décio Vieira. Grupo Frente was at the forefront of artist collectives in the region from 1954-56, approaching art through a rigorous commitment to a social mission and experimentation with technique and material while maintaining an honest approach based on research.
