Beatriz Milhazes brings her print work into institutional focus in São Paulo. The Pinacoteca de São Paulo presents Beatriz Milhazes: prints from the collection of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo at Estação Pinacoteca, running from May 16, 2026 to March 14, 2027, as confirmed by the museum’s exhibition listing and gallery partner Max Hetzler.
The print show at Estação Pinacoteca
The exhibition at Estação Pinacoteca gathers around twenty-seven prints from the museum’s collection, offering a concentrated view of Milhazes’s graphic practice within the wider landscape of Brazilian contemporary art.
According to a recent feature by Newcity Brazil and the exhibition notice circulated via Max Hetzler’s news section, the show at Pina Estação in São Paulo is framed explicitly around the museum’s own holdings of Milhazes’s prints, with the run confirmed from May 16, 2026 to March 14, 2027.
A São Paulo anchor in a global fair circuit
The institutional presence of Milhazes in São Paulo feeds into her broader visibility across biennials and fairs, where her large-scale abstractions and print editions often appear in curated sections dedicated to Latin American or global abstraction.
Recent curatorial writing on the Estação Pinacoteca show underlines how the São Paulo print exhibition intersects with Milhazes’s wider international trajectory, including major retrospectives and group exhibitions that have positioned her work within global conversations on color, ornament and modernist legacies.
