Photography in the Américo Marques Collection | A new temporary exhibition dedicated to contemporary photography, drawn from one of Portugal’s most significant private collections.
Part of the programme line that shapes the concept The House of Private Collections, this exhibition focuses on the extensive body of photography within the private collection of Américo Marques.
The interest of this Portuguese collector in a specific medium of the visual arts has brought together a set of works that reflects the breadth of thematic approaches and traces some of the most significant shifts in contemporary photography, from the late 1950s to the present day.
The curatorial proposal is grounded in a poetics of relationships, bringing together different generations, geographies and sensibilities, and affirming photography as a field for critical reflection and for the conceptual construction of the image.
The exhibition features a wide range of key international artists in contemporary photography, including Andreas Gursky, Andres Serrano, Bernd Becher & Hilla Becher, Candida Höfer, Cindy Sherman, Edgar Martins, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Helena Almeida, Helmut Newton, João Penalva, Jorge Molder, Martin Parr, Nan Goldin, Richard Prince, Thomas Ruff e Wolfgang Tillmans, among many others.
