Visit the Mapfre Foundation in Madrid, and discover a space for avant-garde culture as well as artistic and documentary photography.
Housed in a building designed by architect Agustín Ortiz de Villajos for the Duchess of Medina de las Torres. Following a series of restructuring and upgrading works the exhibition area now covers an area of around 1000 m2, divided into three rooms which are mainly used for exhibiting the plastic arts from the last third of the 19th century through to just after the Second World War. The exhibition rooms opened in the autumn of 2008, coinciding with a new international perspective in our programming following an in-depth review of the modernization of Spanish art between the last third of the 19th century to the Spanish Civil War.
Until the 25th of August you will be able to visit two temporary exhibitions:
- Consuelo Kanaga. Catch the spirit: Catching the Spirit traces the six decades of work of this fundamental artist in the history of modern photography, "one ahead of her time," as her friend the photographer Dorothea Lange evoked, and whose work, surprisingly, is still little known.
- David Goldblatt. No secondary intentions: The artistic career of South African David Goldblatt (1930, Randfontein- 2018, Johannesburg) covered both a wide geographical extension of his country and a great variety of human situations showing the daily life of his fellow citizens during and after apartheid.
