Welcome to Madrid

CaixaForum Madrid is presenting an original exhibition from 25 April to 20 August in which the work of ten artists from "La Caixa" Foundation’s Contemporary Art Collection will be on display, alongside objects from their personal collections.  

Throughout history, it has been seen that the human being is a collector and collecting is something innate in us.  In this way, this exhibition invites visitors to discover the private collections of ten artists that form part of "La Caixa" Foundation’s Collection (Rosa Amorós, Miquel Barceló, Georg Baselitz, Luis Feito, Joan Hernández Pijuan, Manolo Millares, Joan Miró, Susana Solano, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Antoni Tàpies), as well as the relationship with their imagination, their interests and obsessions, their creative processes and, in short, their work.

Art pieces from non-European traditions can be seen in the case of Miró and Tàpies or Japanese religious objects in the case of Sugimoto.
