Provenance: the collection of Laurent Danchin (1946–2017), writer, essayist and art critic, passed down through the family.
Born into a farming family in rural Portugal, Antunes began drawing in the early 1980s following a stay in New York, where he discovered the work of Chagall and Picasso. Spotted by the poet Mário Cesariny, he moved to France in 1987, where the gallery owner Cérès Franco brought his work to public attention.
