Recent Museum Acquisition

Almine Rech is pleased to announce that Jose Dávila’s work The Fact of Constantly Returning to the Same Point or Situation, 2023 is now part of the collection of MASP in São Paulo, and included in the exhibition 'Five essays on MASP – Geometries', a group exhibition currently on view at the museum’s new building Pietro Maria Bardi.

Searching for the poetic nature inherent to these structural intuitions – which often seem to hint at an imminent collapse – Dávila produces artworks in which tension and stillness, geometric order and random chaos, fragility and resistance, are rendered through a wide range of materials and media.
