Abstract

This article sought to outline the behavior of the most important visual art galleries in four cites (Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Campinas and Curitiba), in the sixties. Conceived outside the Rio-São Paulo circuit, these galleries were the stage for disputes relating to identity issues – local artists and those from other parts – and were also decisive arenas for different esthetic vocabularies, in distinct historic contexts. These contexts were marked in the social political field by the post 64 military period and in the artistic field, by the discussions about the new figurations, the modernist heritages, the augmentation of supports and genres and the management of art by markets and incipient criticism and recently created museums.
