Abstract

This article studies the American artist Andy Warhol and the Brazilian Vik Muniz with the hypothesis that Muniz uses strategies of diffusion and permanence at the market similar to those practiced by Warhol in the 1960s and applies them in the context of the contemporary Brazilian art market since the 1990s by extending these practices to the global art market. Considerations have be made regarding the process of legitimizing contemporary artists, raising the debate that artists make it a legitimating project that encompasses a network together with cultural agents and consumers, aiming to demonstrate the market awareness developed by the artists studied.

Keywords: art market, art system, process of legitimation, Vik Muniz, Andy Warhol.
