Provenance Estate of the Artist Galeria Raquel Arnaud, São Paulo Acquired from the above by the present owner Exhibited Guy Brett Sergio Camargo Luz e Sombra , São Paulo, 2007, p. 84 (illustrated) Guy Brett Paulo Venancio Filho and Gabriel Pérez Barreiro, Sergio Camargo Liber Albus , São Paulo, 2014, p. 182 (illustrated) Artist Bio Sergio Camargo Brazilian • 1930 - 1990 Follow Sergio Camargo was a Brazilian artist known for his sculptures, wall-based reliefs and architectural commissions. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he studied in Buenos Aires and Paris before returning to Brazil in 1950 at which point he became familiar with the Constructivist movement. During the 1960s and 1970s his work became dominated by wooden, terracotta, marble and stone forms, cylindrical or cuboid in shape, jutting out in relief with geometric precision from monochrome white surfaces. The interjecting lines created across the white surfaces by shadow and light evoke the interplay of alternating modes of rationality and chaos, fullness and emptiness. The three-dimensional constructions are meticulous in their use of color and form, simultaneously minimalist in order and expansive in their study of volume and light. View More Works
