The collection consists of an extraordinary group of paintings,
drawings and etchings produced by the artist on a variety of media
and using a wide range of techniques. The collection covers a
period of roughly 50 years in her prolific artistic career, and
will be shown in the permanent exhibition on a rotational basis.
Such a wide-ranging collection makes it possible to follow the
changes in form, theme and technique - the different media and
artistic languages that Paula Rego has experimented with - as well
to understand her unique and highly personal artistic
universe.
The collection also includes some of the models used by Paula
Rego, a large patchwork and some of her personal papers.
