Bortolami, James Cohan, kaufmann repetto, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps, and kurimanzutto are pleased to present the inaugural exhibition at their new shared space, The Campus, in Claverack, NY. Embracing a collaborative model, the galleries have turned an abandoned former school building into a platform for dynamic cultural exchange. Organized by Timo Kappeller, the inaugural exhibition will run from June 29 through October 27, 2024.

Fondazione ICA Milano presents, from Wednesday 10th April to Friday 19th July 2024, the exhibition Notizia, first solo show in Milan by Brazilian artist Erika Verzutti (São Paulo, 1971). The exhibition is curated by Chiara Nuzzi and Alberto Salvadori and is conceived for the ground floor of Fondazione ICA Milano. The project offers a selection of several sculptural works that Verzutti created almost entirely in Milan between 2023 and 2024, building an insight into the artist's long practice.
The first survey exhibition of Erika Verzutti (b. 1971, São Paulo) in the United States, New Moons provides an expansive view of the Brazilian artist’s bold and influential practice. It presents over 60 wall works and sculptures made over the past fifteen years, encompassing materials that are both permanent and expendable, such as bronze, clay, aluminum, Styrofoam, papier machê, wax, and porcelain. The artist integrates a multitude of references from art and architectural history alongside references to plant, human, and animal life as well as everyday and spiritual objects. The result is both singular new forms and chains of associations. Sometimes, her sculptures replicate through multiple versions, or what have been called “families.”
El trabajo de Erika Verzutti (Sao Paulo, 1971) despliega un vocabulario de formas toscas y sensuales llenas de ingenio y desenfado. Su práctica ha transitado un camino de asociaciones que exploran afinidades inesperadas entre lo doméstico, lo orgánico, lo exótico, lo espiritual y lo monstruoso desde una evidente pulsión venusiana.
LA MAISON DE RENDEZ-VOUS is pleased to present an exhibition with Brussels based artist, Erika Verzutti. Consisting of works executed in both painted bronze and stoneware, the exhibition offers one perspective of the Brazilian-born sculptor’s “Brussels Years” studio practice. Familiar forms reappear in hybrid, suggesting an inwards turn and a refined yet characteristically playful approach towards the medium of sculpture and the particular context in which it is exhibited.
This is the first solo exhibition held in a Brazilian museum dedicated to the work of Erika Verzutti (São Paulo, 1971). Verzutti’s work is essential to an understanding of sculpture as it is practiced today, in Brazil and internationally. Her thought-provoking forms explore new possibilities for the medium, to the origin and materiality of sculpture, as well as its formal intelligence.
This exhibition is the first solo presentation in a UK museum by the Brazilian artist Erika Verzutti (b.1971, São Paulo). It gathers together more than 40 works from the last 15 years, alongside a body of new work and a major site-specific commission.
Erika Verzutti’s unique hybrid objects playfully fuse the real and the fantastical. Grounded in the everyday and deriving from ordinary objects, such as fruit, Verzutti’s ambiguous sculptures take on anthropomorphic qualities through her exploration of materials and embrace of chance and tactility. The artist has described her work as “a sculpture of a painting,” and Verzutti’s most successful pieces result from her figuring out what works along the way in her studio. For the AAM’s Crown Commons, Verzutti will create a large-scale bronze Venus—an extension of her recent smaller sculptures incorporating organic forms that depict the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and fertility.
“Mutations/Creations”, the annual creation and innovation laboratory at the Centre Pompidou, questions the links between the arts, science, engineering and innovation. In an original layout that fills up the whole space, a body of work is deployed, full of animal and vegetal associations, asserting the right to be undisciplined, going against the grain of a neo-modernist and conceptual trend. The first major European exhibition of the Brazilian artist Erika Verzutti, born in 1971 and based in São Paulo. Going against the tide of a neo-modernist and conceptual trend, Erika Verzutti has spent almost twenty years proclaiming indiscipline through a body of work tinted with a Venusian sensuality and a wild sense of humour, teeming with animals, fruit and plants.
