Abstract

The objective of this article is to observe possible relationships between the occurrence of international art fairs and the exports of Brazilian artworks from the years 2010 to 2021, with special consideration to SP-Arte, the Brazilian international art fair held every year in São Paulo City, Brazil, since 2005. In order to achieve our objective, we, first, briefly review the historical process of Brazilian art internationalization and the role of art fairs in it. Then, we examine data from the 2018 report from the Brazilian Association of Contemporary Art, that is, the Brazilian association for art galleries in the primary art market. Next, we analyze data on Brazilian artwork exports, extracted from the website of the Brazilian Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MDIC). The third source of investigation is a set of websites from art fairs and art galleries, where we captured data on the participation of Brazilian art galleries in selected international art fairs, from 2010 to 2022. Finally, we compare the historical data of the three data sources to identify possible relationships between the presence of Brazilian art galleries in international art fairs and the value of Brazilian art exports, as export peaks and certain art fairs could occur at the same time.
