‘Highlights’ section updated with works by Ana Prada, Juan Ugalde and Ignasi Aballí
Born in the 1950s and 1960s, the three artists all share the same vision of art as a space for formal experimentation and critical reflection – as the selected pieces attest. All three also include references to objects, places and phenomena associated with summer.
'Allegories of What is to Come' finally closes, after a resoundingly successful run
The exhibition attracted over 41,000 visitors and was extended for two months beyond the original four-month run. Over 2,200 people took part in a programme of guided tours and workshops organised around the show. It has been one of the most successful exhibitions ever held at the Banco de España's exhibition space on Plaza de Cibeles.
Learning to Paint Light
The Banco de España has organised a family workshop around the exhibition 'Allegories of What is to Come'. The activities included a close-up view of the stained-glass art deco panels on the ceiling of the bank's trading floor, made in the 1930s. Participants also had a chance to recreate sections of the unique decorative ensemble on acetate.
