The archive resulting from the years of activity of the gallery “Loja de Desenho” gallery is now part of the Art Library’s collection.

Founded in 1987 with the aim of promoting and selling works on paper, focusing on drawing (understood as the exploration of the graphic record of images and concepts, by modern and contemporary Portuguese authors), the activity of the “Loja de Desenho” reflects in a very expressive way the emergence of a new generation of artists in the 1980s, as well as the emergence of new critics and art historians.

Among the artists the gallery has exhibited are António Sena, Patrícia Garrido, Pedro Chorão, Sérgio Pombo, Rui Sanches, Gaëtan, all major names on the Portuguese contemporary art scene and practically all represented in the Centro de Arte Moderna’s collection.
