Until next July, the Gulbenkian Foundation receives 120 key works by artists of the last century as Peter Barateiro, Gerhard Richter, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Martin Kippenberger, Sigmar Polke, or Max Ernst.
(it's true that such exposure is evident in the Gulbenkian Foundation since June, but is also fact that disclosure of that fell far short of what is expected for an institution this size. The public deserved better and Deutsche Bank ...)




Starting next four days, the Palace of Galveias (Campo Pequeno) receives "Being and Having" , a exhibition organized by the Embassy of Korea meets about ten artists from that country who have excelled in the 60 and 70 of the twentieth century. By next September 21.
