This year he decided to have an exhibition in his hometown as he didn´t have a show there for the last 10 years. Exhibiting all the Brazilian paintings and many more. Nervous as always, but had a sense that it could be some crowd, he hired staff to take control of the door, drinks etc. It was supposed to open 2.00 pm but the doorman had to open at 1.30 as there was a 4 people wide and 50 m long que waiting. The line lasted until 4.30 pm. People said that they had to come back to watch fully, because there was a stream gong inside and suddenly you were outside again. One could call it a success. The story made the TV news the same night.
