Frieze
London and
Frieze Masters finished a few days
ago but when looking back at the Brazilian galleries at both fairs this
year, it is easy to see why everyone is so excited about Brazilian art. Last
week, both the contemporary and historical art works brought
by Brazilian galleries stood out from the rest
and this was reflected in strong sales
figures from the Brazilian galleries. For those who didn't get a chance to go to
the fairs,
Latitude brings you a closer look at the
fantastic art works that were on show in Regents Park last week as well as a sneak peek of what is to come at
artBO, the International
Art Fair of Bogotá
, on Friday.
