1974
Born in Zurich and later studying in Milan, Mira Schendel immigrated to São Paulo in 1949, where she began her artistic career in earnest. She found Brazil ripe for artistic innovation, both thanks to the community of European émigrés living there during this time, as well as the exploration of abstraction being led by Brazilian artists like Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica.
