El arte textil protagoniza los nuevos encargos y adquisiciones que ha llevado a cabo la Colección Banco de España
Entre las últimas obras incorporadas se encuentra un conjunto de seis tapices que la creadora vallisoletana Dora García, Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas de España en 2021, ha creado para el Salón de Cobradores de nuestra sede central de Cibeles. También se han adquirido piezas textiles y escultóricas de las artistas Aurelia Muñoz, Elena del Rivero y Laura Fluxà, así como dos aguadas fechadas en 1905 de Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida.
Death of Federico Guzmán, a key figure in the 'new Sevillian figuration' movement, which revolutionised Spanish art in the late 1980s
Guzmán’s work has been the object of exhibitions at the Museo Reina Sofía, the Andalusia Contemporary Art Centre, the Valencia Institute of Modern Art and the Fundació Antoni Tàpies. Guzmán's art stresses (re)connection with nature and a commitment to society and the environment. The Banco de España Collection holds eight of his works, one of which – 'Theobroma Cacao' – recently featured in the bank’s 'Flowers and Fruits' exhibition.
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.
