Tate Modern is staging the first ever international, full-scale survey of the work of Mira Schendel (1919–1988) until 19 January 2014. Schendel is one of Latin America's most important and prolific post-war artists. Alongside her contemporaries Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica, Schendel reinvented the language of European Modernism in Brazil. The show exemplifies how Tate is continuing to rethink and re-present the history of modern and contemporary art by showing artists who established their careers outside Europe and the USA.
