Branded a forgotten genius, Pape was one of Brazil’s most celebrated artists, and I was excited to see the Serpentine’s new retrospective of her work. I wasn’t previously familiar with her style but I left the exhibition feeling underwhelmed.
Pape referred to herself as Neo-Concretist, beginning from a point that her elders had taken a long hard-worn path to reach. Her woodcuts on Japanese paper are surprisingly delicate – lines run across the sheets encountering minimalistic geometric shapes that conjure patterns, dynamism and electricity. There is no doubt that Pape was innovative; the works in the West gallery show influences of American Modernism but, as is so often the case, the dates do not add up. Her works predate those that we think influenced her such as Frank Stella and Agnes Martin.

Lygia Pape
White Cube is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in Asia of pioneering Brazilian artist Lygia Pape (1927–2004), opening in Seoul in March 2024.
A vital figure in the emergence of contemporary art in Brazil, Pape’s five-decade-long career saw the artist forging new forms of geometric abstraction that questioned the spatial dynamic between artwork and viewer. The first exhibition of her work at White Cube Seoul coincides with the 20th anniversary of Pape’s death and offers an overview of the breadth of her experimental practice, which included painting, printmaking, sculpture, film, performance, and installations.
A highlight of the show is a site-specific installation from her important ‘Ttéia’ series, which the artist produced during the latter decades of her life. In Ttéia 1, B (2000), accumulations of intricate woven gold thread extend across the corner of the gallery, forming luminous columns of light. Evoking the woven geometries of her formative ‘Tecelares’ prints and ‘Desenhos’ drawings, the ‘Ttéia’ series stands as one of Pape’s most celebrated group of works, emblematising her career-long investigations into geometric abstraction and interactivity.
Lygia Pape was born in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, in 1927 and came of age at the close of the Seco
