The acquisition of 25 works of contemporary art by Latin American artists by the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM-SP) is a significant event for the institution and for the Latin American art scene.

The works of artists such as Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, Cildo Meireles, Beatriz Milhazes, Tunga and Oscar Murillo are representative of the main trends in Latin American contemporary art.

The acquisition of these works by MAM-SP represents the institution's commitment to Latin American art. The museum already has an important collection of Latin American art, but this acquisition represents a significant increase in the number of works by contemporary artists from the region.
