Finaliza la exposición «Alegorías de un porvenir» con una gran acogida de público
A lo largo de los seis meses que ha estado en cartel, dos más de los inicialmente previstos, esta exposición ha superado la cifra de 41.000 mil visitantes. Asimismo, más de 2.200 personas han participado en su programa de visitas guiadas y en los diversos talleres que en torno a ella se han realizado. Estos datos la convierten en una de las muestras más exitosas de todas las organizadas hasta el momento en el espacio expositivo que el Banco de España tiene en su sede central 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.
José María Cruz Novillo, a key figure in rebranding democratic Spain, dies aged 89
Cruz Novillo created some of the most iconic logos of recent decades for Spanish public and private bodies. The Banco de España commissioned him to design the penultimate series of peseta banknotes prior to the introduction of the euro. The bank’s collection also contains two works by the artist, a sculpture (‘Untitled’ [1976]) and a painting (‘Diaphragm One. Phase Four’ [1993]). Cruz Novillo also had a prodigious career designing film posters.
