This catalogue raisonné is an expansion of the first catalogue of the Novobanco Photography Collection published in 2008, which referenced the 444 works that made up the collection at the time. In this new edition, to share and promote the cultural heritage under its stewardship, Novobanco has included all 1,084 works by 304 artists of 38 nationalities that are now part of the collection, one of the most important corporate collections internationally.

The Novobanco Photography Collection includes works by contemporary artists who use photography as an artistic medium, including works by leading national and international artists, and bringing artists from different generations into dialogue.

The major theme of the Collection is the diversity of artistic expression, offering a panoramic view of the state-of-the-art in contemporary photographic art since 2000, with the mission of questioning existing realities and fostering a dialogue between cultures.

Regarded as one of the most significant collections of its kind, the novobanco Photography Collection is based in Portugal and is now accessible to the public through numerous exhibitions and partnerships featuring both national and international works.
Considered one of the 80 best corporate collections in the world, it includes Portuguese artists in an award-winning and internationally recognised collection with a distinguished
track record.

The remarkable work of curating and publishing this catalogue has been led by the coordinator and curator of novobanco’s photography collection, Alexandra Conde, who, over the last decade, has curated exhibitions of the collection while ensuring its promotion and visibility both nationally and internationally
