Works from the CAM in the exhibition ‘All I Want’
Forming part of the Cultural Programme for the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the exhibition All I Want. Portuguese Women Artists from 1900 to 2020 is an initiative from the Ministry of Culture which is curated by Helena de Freitas and Bruno Marchand.
From 2 June, visitors can explore the exhibition at the Main Gallery at the Foundation and the Temporary Exhibitions Gallery at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum. The exhibition is organised into 16 thematic sections displaying 200 works by 40 artists, all of which were produced between the early 20th century and the present day. It showcases women artists from different generations and backgrounds, who fought to make a name for themselves and produced works of exceptional artistic quality.
More than 50 works from the Modern CAM Collection will be displayed. They were produced by 17 key figures in Portuguese art with a significant presence in the collection: Ana Hatherly, Ana Vieira, Clara Menéres, Fernanda Fragateiro, Helena Almeida, Joana Rosa, Lourdes Castro, Luísa Cunha, Maria Antónia Siza, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Maria José Aguiar, Maria José Oliveira, Mily Possoz, Ofélia Marques, Paula Rego, Salette Tavares and Sarah Affonso.
The works from the CAM collection include paintings, drawings, engravings, collages, installations, sculptures, photographs and a film. At a time when the CAM building is closed for renovations, this is an excellent opportunity for visitors to see a sizeable set of the works from the CAM collection.
Access to the exhibition is free and it can be seen at the Foundation until 23 August. Following that, it will be transported to Tours, France, where it will be presented at the Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré in 2022.
