Explore selected works

The image shows a person standing barefoot on a concrete surface outdoors. They have dark, wavy hair and are wrapped in a large piece of cloth covering their torso. The person's back is slightly turned to the camera, with their head facing left. They have a calm expression and are wearing an anklet on their right ankle. The background includes a brick wall, rooftops, and other buildings in the distance on the left side of the image. — Hélio Oiticica, Untitled (Romero Cavalcanti wearing Parangolé Cape 25, New York City, 1972), 1972, gelatin silver print, Gift of Eileen and Michael Cohen in honor of Sarah Greenough, 2013.123.1
