Lempert Collection - Honey​,​ I Rearranged … — Part 2

The overarching project was conceived as a long-term engagement: the collection would be displayed in a series of five exhibitions interspersed throughout the Culturgest programme until late 2018, divided into three chapters, with objects selected and arranged according to different perspectives. The Lempert Collection began in the early 1960s as a private passion. It was meticulously assembled over 50 years by a German collector and art enthusiast named Jochen Lempert (who shares the same name as the notable German biologist and photographer). Honey, I Rearranged the Collection… by Artist — Chapter 1 ​/​ Part 2 (Cartazes da Coleção Lempert, capítulo 1 ​/​ 2.ª parte) opened at Culturgest immediately after the close of Part 1 in March 2015, running through the spring and summer of that year. The first chapter was conceived to be completed with a second exhibition held immediately after the first one, with both instalments dedicated to highlighting artists who had devoted special attention to the poster as a medium. Part 2 thus continued the same organisational logic as Part 1 — grouping works by artist — but introduced a new roster of names from the collection, broadening the panorama of artistic practices centred on the poster across the preceding half-century.
