Description: As part of the 'conversations' series, the booklet for the exhibition 'Art and Architecture between Lisbon and Baghdad: The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Iraq, 1957-1973', with texts by the exhibition's two curators, includes versions in Portuguese and English. The introduction, written by both curators, briefly explains the objectives of the project, outlining the work of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Iraq between 1957 and 1973, especially in the fields of art and architecture. The essay that follows, by Patrícia Rosas, analyses the origin and circumstances explaining the formation of the Iraqi modern art section of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's Modern Collection, a rare phenomenon in the international museological landscape. The accompanying images are therefore mainly reproductions of artworks from the Modern Collection, interspersed with others of a more documentary nature.
