This book presents a selection of 100 works from CAM's collection. Collections should express a personality of their own, while also allowing renewed readings and multiple curatorial visions, a fact to which this book bears witness. While it is true that no collection can represent on its own the art produced in a particular period, this collection constitutes the most systematic representation of 20th century Portuguese art, and regarding the first half of the century, perhaps the only comprehensive group of works accessible to the public. Without doubt, this is CAM's prime responsibility: to preserve and investigate the artistic heritage it keeps and to make it accessible to the greatest possible number of people. CAM's mission also involves developing and renewing this collection, to which it needs to establish an attentive and informed proximity to the contemporary art world. In fact, this connection, which is also required for the purpose of activity planning, naturally involves following the artists' aesthetic trajectories but also paying attention to their formative and professional paths, and to international dialogue, which contemporary art embodies in its very nature. At CAM, the interdisciplinary relations that art currently requires may also find a suitable place to develop, especially if we consider the nature of its premises. Therefore, at the start of a new life cycle and with a view to developing all of its potential, it is expected that CAM will come to coordinate the activities carried out by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation within the scope of the visual arts, ensuring the synergies of this integration.
