This book approaches, with clear and informative language, the phenomenon of contemporary art in Brazil, relating the different instances of the art system: institutions, the market and criticism, among others. It proposes an understanding of art beyond the works and the artists. Offered as a gateway to the current production, the book can be read as a whole, but also separately in each of its chapters. Covering artistic practices in the country from the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, it presents a breadth of perspectives and regional presences in the national panorama. Unique in its proposal, this book is suitable for students, teachers and researchers, as well as for the general public interested in the knowledge of contemporary art in Brazil in a complete and easy-to-understand way, all illustrated in 4 colors. The result of a long trajectory of research by the author, this work presents itself as a guide through the fluid and diversified universe of the visual arts. It sharpens and stimulates interest in a production that is often complex to access, but which has a lot to reveal about our reality and the different ways of being in today's world.
