This exhibition presents a selection of works from the Peter Meeker Collection, an important private contemporary art collection in Porto. It is significant for three reasons: firstly, it is a real collection, not an accumulation. Many people may have the good fortune to collect art, but very few have a collection that is anything more than a wonderful accumulation. Among the few who have a collection, there are even fewer who have one that is significant. But that is the case here, because this collector (Peter Meeker is a pseudonym for Pedro Álvares Ribeiro) collects in depth: he owns numerous works by a few selected artists, so that the career, artistic language and vision of each can be followed in detail. This requires a collector with a vision, tenacity (or obsession) and the necessary financial means. Thus, a private collection is always a self-portrait as well – in this case of a collector who for a long time hid behind a pseudonym.
