The Pera Museum is pleased to announce its new exhibition Look at

Me!: Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary
Art Collection. The exhibition examines portraiture, one of the
oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our
times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shape a
labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the
social mirror of portraits.
