Homage to Paula Rego

Curator: Helena de Freitas

On the first anniversary of Paula Rego’s passing (June 8, 2022), CAM pays homage to one of Portugal’s most international artists: two of the most recent acquisitions–Angel and Turkish Bath—will be exhibited in the hall of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Headquarters. The purchase of these works makes the Foundation the private institution with the most sizeable and significant collection of the artist’s work, comprising 37 pieces, including painting, drawing and prints.
