Structural art gained significant prominence in Brazil during the 1960s-1970s, particularly through the work of artists influenced by constructivism and the Concrete Poetry movement. In the United States and Europe, it developed as a response to Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing rationality and geometric order. The movement remains influential in contemporary art and design, particularly in São Paulo's art institutions and international biennales.
