A selection of works from the collection by Leonor Antunes

In a chronology that dates from the 1930s to the present day, artist Leonor Antunes’ choices include well-known artists such as Ana Vieira, Helena Almeida and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, and also artists whose work has been less seen. The selection covers different techniques such as video, printmaking, textiles, painting, sculpture and drawing.

The space features the longitudinal wall of the gallery intentionally unfinished and ‘raw’, and the six panels of slatted wood – ‘voilettes’ – on which Leonor Antunes suspended the artworks. These displays are a reappropriation of Charlotte Perriand’s reticulated façade, designed for the Japanese ambassador’s residence in Paris in the 1960s, while revisiting the modern exhibition design solutions of Franco Albini/Franca Helg and Lina Bo Bardi.
