Abstract in Portuguese
Esse trabalho investiga a importância das duas doações Nelson Rockefeller (1946 e 1950) na formação do acervo histórico do antigo Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo. A pesquisa demonstra como a doação fez parte de uma estratégia mais ampla para aproximar os Estados Unidos e o Brasil no Pós-Guerra por meio de iniciativas no campo das artes. Essa pesquisa traça um panorama do papel de Rockefeller como articulador da política cultural norte-americana e detalha o envolvimento de funcionários do MoMA (René dHarnoncourt) e seus curadores (Alfred Barr, Dorothy Miller e William Lieberman) na realização das doações. O objetivo central do estudo é tentar dar conta da relevância e singularidade de um conjunto de obras, atualmente no acervo do Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo, que permanece pouco estudado por especialistas e amplamente desconhecido pelo público.

Abstract in English
This research analyzes the role of the Nelson Rockefeller donations (1946 and 1950) in the formation of the first collection of the Museum of Modern Art Sao Paulo. This study demonstrates how the donations were part of a broader strategy to bring United States and Brazil closer together through artistic initiatives during the Post-war period. This research gives a brief overview of the role of Nelson Rockefeller as articulator of the American cultural policy and details the involvement do MoMA employees (René dHarnoncourt) and curators (Alfred Barr, Dorothy Miller and William Lieberman) in the donations. The main purpose of this work is to shed to light over a unique collection, currently part of Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of Sao Paulo that has remained ignored by specialists and unknown by the public.
