I'm having trouble fitting this phrase in to my translation.
...just the right amount; in just measure...?
Su mirada pionera, abierta a otras estéticas, nos ha ayudado a conocer, apreciar y disfrutar en su justa medida la calidad de unas piezas ajenas a nuestra propia cultura, que cada vez sentimos más próximas.
My draft:
Her open, pioneering embrace of other aesthetics, has helped to acquaint us with, appreciate and enjoy the quality of pieces alien to our own culture, bringing them ever closer.
(Don't think the end's quite right, either.)
TIA

to try to fit it into the sentence structure, I'd use something like this:
has helped us to deservedly recognize, appreciate and enjoy the quality of pieces from other cultures, which we increasingly feel are our own.

PS if you keep your original wording, remove the comma after "other aesthetics" ;-) ¡un saludo!

PPS: scratch the part "which we..." and try ", which makes us perceive them (the pieces) as increasingly our own" (sorry!)
