To Claudio, with a hug, Beatrix
Beatriz Milhazes (born 1960) is a Brazilian artist born in Rio de Janeiro. Color is a fundamental element of her work, as are geometric abstraction, flowers and arabesques. Music, dance and nature, recurrent in Brazilian culture, inspire Milhazes' works. Since the 1990s, she has stood out in international exhibitions in the United States and Europe and is part of the collections of museums such as MoMa, Guggenheim and Metropolitan, in New York.
In 2013, Beatriz Milhazes celebrated 30 years of her career with the panoramic exhibition Meu Bem in her hometown, where she had not exhibited for over a decade, despite living and maintaining her studio in Leblon, close to family and friends. According to the exhibition's curator, Frédéric Paul, "without intending to be a retrospective, the Paço Imperial exhibition brings together works from 1989 to 2013. The year 1989 was a landmark year in which the artist developed a specific decalcomania technique that would influence all of her subsequent work."
In an interview with journalist Michelle Licory, we learn more about Beatriz Milhazes:
I have had a very linear career over the past 30 years. In the 1980s, I developed very locally, in Rio and São Paulo. In 1996, when I had my first solo show in New York, I received a very positive review from Roberta Smith in the New York Times. She ended by saying, 'I think something new is emerging.' This opened doors for me to the art world in the United States, then Europe and, later, Asia. In 2003, my participation in the Venice Biennale was fundamental, as was having my work in important museums such as the Tate Modern and the MoMA.
And what about this “most expensive Brazilian” label?
Even though I am in this situation, I don’t know how to explain it… It is the first time in contemporary Brazilian art that a group, even a very small one, has achieved this international position, with an international price. It is a great gain, a learning experience for all of us, a level I did not expect. We have to know how to deal with this. It is easier with galleries abroad. They are used to it. I have a life in English and a life in Portuguese. There is also another source of pride, because I am a woman. Painting is a very masculine universe.
Do you have anything in common with Vik Muniz and Adriana Varejão, other contemporary names that are highly valued outside the country?
That's interesting. We are very different as artists and as people, despite being friends. But we do have one thing in common: the three of us, in some way, use Brazilian culture to create dialogues, we introduce our life experiences in the country into our work. Even Vik, who emigrated when he was young and grew up in the United States, retained in his concepts something intelligent, but somewhat crude, from our Brazilian upbringing. Adriana and I, in very different ways, have these issues of our thinking about the country's culture very clear.
Much sought after in international galleries and auctions, the works of Beatriz Milhazes have reached record prices in recent years. The artist from Rio de Janeiro, who lives between Rio de Janeiro, Paris and New York, has become a renowned artist, who will be increasingly sought after by Brazilian and foreign collectors. Her autographs are rare, and this piece stands out for its excellent condition and its biographical content, which further enhance the artist's dynamic signature.

All items sold by Glórias have a permanent guarantee against eventual certification errors, provided that such error is subsequently demonstrated and confirmed by Mathias Meyer. In this event, the buyer will be fully reimbursed. To date, this situation has never occurred. The guarantee does not cover natural alterations or damage caused by improper storage, exposure to light, humidity, insects, or any other external factor that may compromise the preservation of the paper or ink.
Can I resell this piece in the future?
Yes. Should you wish to sell your piece in the future, please contact us. We will be happy to guide you and help you find a new collector, either through a direct sale or through a specialized auction organized by Glórias.
How can I add value to my collection?
If your goal is to go beyond an isolated purchase, the ideal is to build a coherent collection around a theme, a personality, or a historical period, such as aviation pioneers, women who made history, love letters, old photographs of Rio de Janeiro, Oscar Niemeyer, Pelé, or Ayrton Senna. Mathias Meyer can guide you in forming a consistent collection, according to your interests, objectives, and budget.
How should I store my document or autograph?
To preserve your document in the best condition, we recommend against laminating it or keeping it permanently framed, as paper needs to breathe and prolonged exposure to light can accelerate its deterioration. Ideally, store it in a dry, dark, and clean place, protected from humidity, extreme temperatures, dust, and insects, ensuring its preservation for many decades.
Why aren't these pieces in museums?
Throughout history, much of the world's documentary heritage has been preserved thanks to private collectors and dealers. These enthusiasts of historical documents play a fundamental role in the discovery, study, and preservation of pieces that can later be loaned, donated, or sold to museums and other institutions. In Brazil, where many museums have limited financial resources and staff, this collaboration is even more important. Glórias maintains relationships with public institutions, museums, and researchers, both in Brazil and abroad, sharing discoveries, knowledge, and, in some cases, documents for exhibitions.
Can I offer you a part to buy?
With pleasure. The first step is to conduct a preliminary assessment, which will determine the level of authenticity, market value, and the best strategy for your piece. Depending on the outcome, there are several possibilities, such as certification, direct sale, consignment, or a specialized auction.
Where do the parts sold by Glórias come from?
Behind every rare document lies a unique trajectory, which makes collecting a fascinating way to preserve and transmit history. Most of the pieces offered by Glórias were inherited by families who contacted us, while others were acquired at auctions, where they were misidentified or undervalued, or came from collectors, antique dealers, or autograph document merchants.
