VIEIRA da Silva. Lisboa. 1970. - VIEIRA da Silva . Lisboa: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, 1970. 222 pp.: il.; 260 mm. Catalogue of the first major retrospective exhibition of Maria Helena Vieira da Silva held in Portugal, on display in 1970 at the then newly opened Temporary Exhibition Galleries of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. The exhibition, curated by Guy Weelen, a French art critic and close collaborator of the painter and her husband, Arpad Szenes, brought together around two hundred works, including tapestries for the first time, and a section dedicated to evocations of Lisbon and gouaches preserved in Portugal. It was part of a traveling exhibition circuit that began at the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris. A key document for studying the reception of Vieira da Silva's work in Portugal and for the exhibition history of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Highly regarded and sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
