Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (Camjap)

Profil

Since the end of the 1950s the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, namely through its Fine Arts Department, acquired, either through purchase or donations from the many artists it has supported or awarded grants to, numerous works of Portuguese art. The Foundation also organized three major fine arts exhibitions, the first of which was held at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes in December 1957. According to José Sommer Ribeiro this exhibition was instrumental to the changes felt in the Portuguese artistic milieu: finally Portugal opened its doors to modern art. Besides the obvious goals - introducing, promoting and awarding the works done to date -, the exhibition allowed the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's directors and their staff to obtain a panoramic picture of the state of the arts in Portugal. The second exhibition was held in December 1961, architecture was included and the scope was widened to include "all forms and means of expression in Art". This caused a significant increase in the number of works to be selected. Finally the third and last exhibition was held in July 1986, on occasion of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's 30th Anniversary. The hiatus from one exhibition to the other was explained by the increase, from the end of the 60s, in the amount of national initiatives promoted by other institutions, this explained why the Foundation had decided to make foreign art its priority. The third exhibition embraced new genres in the field of the arts, such as "Objects" and Installations, "Photography" and "Video"; and the artworks had to be dated post-1980, a "date internationally recognised as a significant turning point in Painting and Sculpture". It is important to note that a considerable number of the artworks presented at this exhibition were integrated into the Modern Art Centre's collection.
