| Abstract | |
The IPHAN lab, responsible to recover artworks, participated in 10 exchanges with Latin American countries between 1964 and 1973. All exchanges were centered on the figure of Edson Motta, head of the sector, related to the transmission of restoration practices and consulting activities. This study analyzes the reasons for Motta role, from his professional background and institutional path point of view, as a specialist assigned to transmit restorative brazilian experience to other preservationists groups in Latin America. Motta benefited initially from the decisive commitment of IPHAN Director, Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade, enabling his professional development in American institutions, in the context of the policy of \"Good Neighbor\" between the US and Brazil. Additionally he was benefited, later, from the international context of the 1960s, focused on the development of an International Heritage System, promotion of cooperative actions between nations for their heritage preservation and for the training of skilled technicians for restoration of cultural goods. Thus, from the study of Motta\'s career, it was possible to evaluate the action of the federal agency for heritage protection from an unusual angle, enabling us different readings of the institution, its functions, its internal and external links and circulation that this body had on world preservationists contexts, presenting yet important aspects of the work of the IPHAN to protect and preserve movable cultural property and works of art integrated into the architecture.
