A fire destroyed the heritage of Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica Lost
2,000 works valued at 138 million, in this twentieth century classic FRANCH
BARON - Rio de Janeiro - 18/10/2009
Brazilian culture was seriously injured last Friday night. 90% of the collection of the artist Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980), one of the founders of Brazilian neoconcretism became engulfed in flames after declaring a fire in the family home in the neighborhood of Jardim Botânico, in the southern Rio de Janeiro. The fire swallowed 2,000 works of Oiticica, including paintings, audiovisual material, facilities, books, projects and notes the artist, all valued at about $ 200 million (about 138 million euros), according to estimates by the family. In 2007 the Tate Modern in London gave him a retrospective.

For the time being ruled that the fire was intentional. "I feel like a failure, because my mission since I retired was to care for his work," he said, destroyed, César Oiticica, brother of the artist, who dined at the house at the time of the accident. The unfortunate loss includes works consecrated as Parangolés Bólides or famous. Gullar with the poet and artists Lygia Clark and Amilcar de Castro, Oiticica lit the Neoconcrete movement.
The body of Oiticica was not covered by insurance and was circumstantially on the first floor of the family home in a studio equipped with devices to control the humidity and temperature, presence sensors and fire. In vain did both apparatus. "It's the worst that could happen to Brazilian culture," lamented yesterday César Oiticica in the local press. Reason does not lack the brother of one of the worst offending exponents of contemporary Brazilian art, since the works were stored in the Jardim Botânico home after a fight over money between the heirs of Oiticica and the city of Rio de Janeiro . Many of the works had been removed burned last April Municipal Art Center Hélio Oiticica, where he had opened a major retrospective of the artist. Non-payment of about 267,000 reais (about 100,000 euros) to the family caused a serious battle that ended early closure of the sample and the transfer of works to the house where the fire occurred.
Oiticica's work, marked by a strong theoretical component, often sought to provoke the viewer's active participation. One of its most decorated was christened Penetrables, a maze made with suspended plates. The artist, who also inspired his work Tropicalia movement, hit Brazilian society with the phrase "Be Merginal, is hero," screenprinted on a banner over the figure of a dead drug dealer.
