Friday Talks #1

Restoring Pasmore

The Victor Pasmore Gallery is launching a compelling new series, Friday Talks on the 27th of September at 18:30. For the first session, the Gallery invites associate editor and gallery curator Giulia Privitelli and Valentina Lupo, Director at Atelier del Restauro, to delve into a unique exploration of the restorative process of Pasmore’s work vis-a-vis the lens he is regarded from in the 21st century. These subjects will be tackled along with the enduring relevance the artist still holds in today’s artistic climate. 

This event forms part of the permanent collection THE EYE AND THE SYMBOL at the VP Gallery.

Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti took over the Victor Pasmore collection in 2015 from the Polverista Gallery, bringing to light the Maltese Modern Art movement and Pasmore’s instrumental influence on its direction. In 2020 it became the custodian of Pasmore’s works further to an agreement with the Victor Pasmore Foundation. The following year, in 2021, the Foundation transformed the former APS Headquarters at 275, St Paul Street, Valletta into a state-of-the-art gallery that would house the Victor Pasmore collection.

Nowadays, Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti manages the Victor Pasmore Gallery which aims to conserve the artist’s legacy through an engaging range of exhibits, events and programmes showcasing the work of Pasmore and his Maltese peers. Furthermore, the Gallery is dedicated to researching, assisting and participating in the realisation of further studies into Pasmore’s work.
