The São Paulo Biennial was founded in 1951 upon the initiative of industrialist Francisco (Ciccillo) Matarazzo Sobrinho (1898-1977). It is the second oldest art biennial in the world after Venice (in existence since 1895), which serves as its role model.

Its initial aim was to make contemporary art (primarily from Western Europe and the USA) known in Brazil, push the country's access to the current art scene in other metropolis, and establish Sao Paulo itself as an international art center. Naturally, the biennial always serves to bring Brazilian art closer to foreign guests.

Since the 4th edition in 1957, the São Paulo Biennial has been held at the Pavilhão Ciccillo Matarazzo in the Parque do Ibirapuera. The pavilion was designed by a team lead by Oscar Niemeyer and Hélio Uchôa, and provides an exhibition space of 30,000 sqm.

As with its Venetian role model, São Paulo hosts national presentations as well as international exhibitions held under the direction of rotating
chief curators.  In addition to the art biennial, an International Biennial for Architecture and Design has been held since 1973.




 聖保羅雙年展是由意大利實業家馬塔拉佐（Francisco Ciccillo Matarazzo Sobrinho）（1898年至1977年）於 1951年所創立，並與威尼斯雙年展(意大利文：La Biennale di Venezia)、德國卡塞爾文獻展(Kassel Documenta)、稱為世界三大藝術展，在三大展覽中資歷排行第二。這是國際上僅次於威尼斯歷史最長久的藝術雙年展（自1895年以來存在的）。

最初計劃此雙年展的目的是為使巴西認識主要來自西歐和美國的當代藝術，把國際大城市的現代創作藝術引領到該國，亦為建立巴西聖保羅成為國際藝術中心。經歷了這段長時間，年展使巴西的藝術帶到國際。

由1957年第四屆開始，聖保羅雙年展已鎮定於Parque do Ibirapuera的Pavilhão Ciccillo Matarazzo舉行。展館的設計是由Oscar Niemeyer 和 Helio Uchôa帶領的團隊，並提供了30,000平方米的展覽空間。
 
正如威尼斯雙年展一樣，聖保羅每屆也邀請不同的著名藝術界人士作為這個年展主要策劃人。除了藝術雙年展，自1973年也舉行國際建築與設計雙年展。
