Beatriz Milhazes: Jardim Botânico Opening at PAMM

Beatriz Milhazes is one of the most valuable female artists on the planet. Here is how the opening of her first stateside exhibition went down.

The long-awaited Beatriz Milhazes exhibit opened last week at PAMM with a party full of art-world VIPs like top-donor Jorge Perez.  The exhibit, titled Beatriz Milhazes: Jardim Botânico, was curated by PAMM Chief Curator Tobias Ostrander, and marks the first major U.S. retrospective of Milhazes’ work, chronicling the past 25 years of her career. Kind of a big deal for such a widely collected artist, who’s tableaux are some of the most expensive in the world. 

The opening celebration unveiled 40 large-scale paintings, collages and screen prints and was the Miami debut of Brazilian band Alma Tropicalia. Other diversions included sets by DJ Marcello Bentine and Brazilian-inspired cocktails as the sun set over Museum Park. For more info on the exhibit, click here.
