Paula Rego

Paula Rego (1935, Lisbon - 2022, London) studied at the Slade School of Art, London between 1952–56 and settled permanently in London in 1963. Rego came to prominence in Britain after her first major solo exhibitions at the Air Gallery, London, in 1981 and the Serpentine Gallery, London, in 1988. The Casa das Histórias Paula Rego, a museum located in a district outside Lisbon that was commissioned by the Portuguese government in 2011, permanently houses Rego’s entire collection of over 200 prints, alongside drawings, preparatory works and paintings loaned by the artist.
