: A CLOSER LOOK AT ALMADA NEGREIROS
A few centimeters from Almada Negreiros.
Today, Inês Sarmento and I climbed the scaffolding at the Alcântara Maritime Station to follow the conservation of his murals up close.
In a restricted visit with art historian Mariana Pinto dos Santos, World Monuments Fund Portugal and Nova Conservação’s conservators, you see gesture, material and time marks unfold.
In my art advisory practice, access like this builds an informed eye: knowing a work also means understanding its material history and care.
Privileged to witness it within the WMF Portugal project with Porto de Lisboa.
