Stories of the Collection IX

Spanning the period from 1983 to the present day, Stories of the Collection summarises key moments in the formation of the Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) Collection. Across distinct points and through the presentation of its most important acquisitions, we follow the desires, tastes, policies and circumstances of each specific moment of the collection’s development: The Decorative Collection (1983-89); The Art Collection (1990-97); Diversification (2000-04); Photographs (1991 and 2004); Precision (2004-08 and 2014); Prints (2007); Donations and Bequests (1967-2021); Resuming Acquisitions (2020-21); New Acquisitions: renowned artists (2022 and 2023); New Acquisitions: mid-career artists (2022 and 2023); Caixa Contest for Young Artists (2022 and 2023).

Continuing the resumption of acquisitions for the CGD Collection in 2022, it was possible strengthen the collection's group of works by well-known artists such as Lourdes Castro (Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal, 1930 - 2022), Jorge Martins (Lisbon, Portugal, 1940) and Ângelo de Sousa (Lourenço Marques - now Maputo, Mozambique, 1938 - Porto, Portugal, 2011).
