_Memories of an Art Collector_ arises from the need to gather, organise and disseminate the experience, memories and reflections of Jorge Helft as a collector of contemporary art, manager and promoter of cultural activities, and as a privileged witness of the national art scene since the late 1940s. The book is aimed at anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes of art management
and art collecting in the last century. The reader will find here a fluid, personal and entertaining narrative that weaves anecdotes,
memories and thoughts into a valuable testimony.
