Duchamp, Magritte, Dalí: Revolutionary artists from the 20th century
Information
The Gaviria Palace is hosting an exhibition dedicated to the most revolutionary artists of the twentieth century: Duchamp, Magritte and Dalí. The show contains numerous works ceded by The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, from the Vera and Arturo Schwarz Collection. The exhibition is travelling to Madrid thanks to Arthemisia, an Italian company specialising in the production, organisation and staging of art exhibitions.
The exhibition honours the artists who revolutionised twentieth-century art, challenging tradition with their boundless creativity. Arranged along a theme-based path, it has five sections: Marvellous Juxtapositions; Desire: Muse and Abused; Automatism and Its Evolution; Biomorphism and Metamorphosis; and Illusion and Dreamscape.
Some of the works to travel to Madrid are The Castle of the Pyrénées (1969), by René Magritte, Surrealist Essay (1934), by Salvador Dalí, LHOOQ (1919-1964), by Marcel Duchamp, and Main Ray (1935), by Man Ray, plus works by an ensemble of artists like Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Alexander Calder and Francis Picabia, among others.
Following the huge success of the shows dedicated to Escher and Mucha, Arthemisia is back in the Spanish capital with this interesting exhibition. The Italian company is planning to renovate the former nightclub to adapt it to its new role as an art gallery.
