Erika Verzutti (b. 1971, São Paulo, Brazil; lives in São Paulo) is a multidisciplinary artist known for her sculptures, installations, and paintings, through which she blends modernist, contemporary, and Paleolithic forms. Recognized for combining organic and everyday materials with traditional sculptural materials, she frequently incorporates objects such as fruits and egg cartons into her bronze casts to create intricate sculptures that often reference art history. Verzutti has had recent solo exhibitions at LUMA Arles, France; Institute of Contemporary Arts Milano, Italy; CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-on Hudson, NY; and Museo Experimental El Eco, Mexico City. Verzutti’s work can be found in international collections, such as Centre Pompidou, Paris; Colección Cisneros, Caracas; Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, Miami; Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Brazil; Tate Modern, London; and the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
