One of the official posters of the 2006 Football World Cup in Germany, signed by Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes.

  • One of the 14 official posters of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, created by Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes, titled "Maracanã".
  • Limited edition of 800 copies worldwide, numbered and signed by the artist. This piece is numbered 501/800; the image shown here is another piece, numbered 34/800.
  • 97 x 65 cm.
  • Excellent condition of conservation.
  • Unique piece.

The artist's creation had to contain a connection to football, without losing the identity of her work; it was a time-consuming work. First of all, the artist had to consult her father about football. And she also had to do a little research on flags. She finished it in 2005 and, in May 2006, she went to Berlin to sign the original.

I used the traditional soccer ball [black and white panels] to create a central axis for the composition. Around it, I drew five rings, each representing a country on its continent. From this axis, arabesque shapes form a kind of 'dance' on the surface of the paper. A kind of 'dance on the green'.

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.

Since the 1990s, she has been featured in international exhibitions in the United States and Europe and is part of the collections of museums such as the MoMa, Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum in New York. In 2006, she was the only South American invited to design one of the 14 official World Cup posters. Like music, the theme of football is recurrent in Brazilian culture: this colorful and cheerful work by Milhazes celebrates this popular passion.

A painting by Beatriz Milhazes, "The Modern", from 2002, was sold in 2001 in London for US$ 1.1 million (R$ 1.8 million) at auction. This amount, now a world record for the artist from Rio de Janeiro, beats the price of the painting "The Magician", sold three years ago at a Sotheby's auction in New York for US$ 1.049 million, or approximately R$ 1.68 million. In short, Beatriz Milhazes has become a renowned artist, increasingly sought after by Brazilian and foreign collectors. Her autographs are rare; this is the only one I have found so far.

It is also possible to pay in up to 10 installments via Pix; in this case, shipping will be carried out after the full payment of the purchase.

Can I ask for a discount?

We offer a 3% discount for payments made in full (via Pix or bank transfer) or the option to pay in up to 3 interest-free installments by credit card. Furthermore, the prices of our pieces are carefully determined based on international market supply and demand, the specific characteristics of each item, and sales results of similar pieces. For this reason, we typically do not grant additional discounts. However, if you wish to purchase multiple pieces or make an exceptionally high-value purchase, we would be pleased to consider a special commercial arrangement.

How is delivery made? What will I receive?

Delivery time varies approximately from 1 to 10 business days, depending on the recipient's location. In Brazil, we mainly use SEDEX, and for international shipments, FedEx. The document is placed in an elegant laid paper folder and sent in completely discreet packaging.

What warranties come with the items?

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 direct sale, consignment, or a specialized auction.

Where do the parts sold by Glórias come from?

Every document has a unique story. Most of the pieces offered by Glórias were inherited from families who contacted us, while others were acquired at auctions, where they were poorly identified or undervalued, or came from antique dealers, collectors, or companies. Behind every rare document there is a singular trajectory, which makes collecting a fascinating way to preserve and transmit history.
