Banco de España loans nine artworks from its collection for exhibitions in Madrid, Murcia and Malaga this autumn
The pieces include four paintings by Soledad Sevilla, on loan to the Reina Sofía Museum for a retrospective of the artist's work. Meanwhile, a portrait of writer and politician José Echegaray, painted in 1905 by Joaquín de Sorolla, is being exhibited at the Royal Collections Gallery as part of a show of the Valencia artist's work, concluding a year of events to mark the centenary of his death.
2024 National Photography and Plastic Arts Prizes go to two artists with works in the Banco de España Collection, Jorge Ribalta and Pedro G. Romero.
The Banco de España has a large number of pieces by Ribalta, including ‘Restoration’, a series of photos commissioned by the bank to document the exterior cleaning and restoration work at its head offices at Plaza Cibeles. The collection also boasts an early diptych by Pedro G. Romero, which exemplifies the conceptual density of his work.
'Highlights' section updated with work by Natividad Bermejo, Rosa Brun and Magdalena Correa
The three new pieces featured are ‘Eclipse’, a drawing by Bermejo combining the hyperreal and the dreamlike, ‘Dextro’, by de Brun, an interesting example of her radical search for the limits of the pictorial, and Correa's photographic series on 'La Rinconada', a town in the Peruvian Andes whose locals are employed in gold mining.
