The first monographic exhibition in Spain devoted to the Russian Soviet artist Vladimir Lebedev (1891–1967. Featuring over one hundred works–including drawings, revolutionary posters, sketches, and illustrated children's books–the show is drawn largely from the Merrill C. Berman Collection, New York, and the Bibliothèque de l'Heure Joyeuse, Paris.
The exhibition comprises thirteen etchings that Picasso completed in 1931 that his dealer Ambroise Vollard commissioned for a new edition of "Le Chef d'oeuvre inconnu" ("The Unknown Masterpiece", first published by Honoré de Balzac in 1831.
A selection of graphic arts—prints and artist books—from the collection of the Fundación Juan March. Among them are some of the artists, such as Eduardo Chillida, Antoni Tàpies and Luis Gordillo, whose works form part of the collection of contemporary Spanish art on display at the museum.
In 2009, the Fundación’s exhibition galleries were remodeled and upgraded. A new independent room is now intended to accommodate select shows of small format works. A display of still lives by Giorgio Morandi (Bologna, 1890-1964) opened the new gallery space. The works dated from 1927 to 1962.
An overview of more than one hundred; paintings and drawings by Pablo Palazuelo (Madrid, 1915-2007), complemented with a variety of material documenting his Paris years, much of it previously unpublished.
The present exhibition features a selection of “works” dating from the 1960s and 70s, consisting mainly of books but also including multiples, magazines, and audiovisual material by twenty-four artists.
Picasso was commissioned by the publisher Gustavo Gili to illustrate the manual Tauromaquia o el arte de torear by Pepe Hillo. In the late 1950s, and after having attended a particularly magisterial bullfight in Arles, he created these 26 etchings, belonging to the Juan March art collection. Picasso depicts the different stages of the bullfight in a rapid, sketchy manner as if recording them directly from life.
The exhibition focuses on the research into colour undertaken over the past fifty years by Carlos Cruz-Diez (born Caracas, 1923), one of the most important artists of the Kinetic movement and a leading contemporary artist.
Three series of prints – "Meditations on the Effigy", "Elephant Skull", and "La poésie" - by Henry Moore, considered the most important British sculptor of the 20th century. In these series Moore explored the themes that most interested him: the reclining female nude, mother and child figures, and studies of animals and other animate objects. Moore had depicted these subjects in his sculptures but in the second half of his long life he increasingly represented them in drawings and prints, the latter being the least known area of his oeuvre.
