Fallece Federico Guzmán, figura clave de la llamada «nueva figuración sevillana» que revolucionó el panorama artístico español a finales de la década de 1980
Instituciones como el Museo Reina Sofía, el Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo, el Institut Valencià d’Art Modern o la Fundació Antoni Tàpies han dedicado exposiciones a este artista que dio una gran centralidad en su trabajo a la (re)conexión con la naturaleza y al compromiso social y ecologista. En la Colección Banco de España contamos con ocho obras suyas, una de las cuales, «Theobroma cacao», formó parte de nuestra reciente muestra «Flores y frutos».
Charged with symbolism and mystery, the gold vault is an embodiment of economic power viewed as a sacred value
The Banco de España’s latest exhibition, 'Allegories of What is to Come', includes a section devoted to the bank's underground gold vault. The display, entitled 'Technology and Security', features a variety of different items which tell the story of the construction of the remarkable architectural space. As well as showing the technology involved, it also offers a new view of the background to the structure, shining new light on the previously anonymous construction workers.
Economies of the Residual. A Theory of Landscape as a Fold
In the latest in the website's 'Itineraries' section, Víctor del Río takes a selection of works from the Banco de España Collection to explore the way the concept of landscape has been redefined in the poetics of contemporary art. All produced between 1989 and 2024, the pieces – says del Río – 'transform the notion of landscape from a geopolitical awareness'.
