Collection. Episode 1
They See Us: From Modernity to Developmentalism
The Museo Reina Sofía shares the new rehang of its Collection, the outcome of many years of research, work carried out by practically every department, and the incorporation of hundreds of works via donations, loans and purchases. This refurbishment project is presented to the public in successive episodes, spotlighting different strong points across the arrangement of the Collection. On this occasion, 18 new rooms are unveiled on the fourth floor of the Sabatini Building, bringing together themes such as US hegemony during the Cold War, exhibitions as a weapon of power for Francoism during developmentalism, the tourist boom, Latin America’s utopian response and feminist protest.

Rethinking Guernica
Website presentation
Rethinking Guernica is a website based on over two years’ research and compiles and presents materials related to Pablo Picasso’s Guernica, the painting, which currently hangs in the Museo Reina Sofía, the artist produced for the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World’s Fair of 1937.
Envisaged as an archive of archives and made up of more than 2,000 documents from 120 public and private archives and national and international agencies, the website is a tool of open knowledge that is constantly evolving. Holding a prominent place on Rethinking Guernica is the Gigapixel study of the work. By applying cutting-edge technology to the knowledge, analysis and conservation of artistic heritage, the study groups together and arranges a broad number of images of the picture.

The screening of Triptych elemental de España (Elementary Triptych of Spain) reflected a declaration of intent regarding the recovery of his work that after the restoration and digitization of the vast majority of the film work produced by the artist, has joined the Museum collection by deposit.

Val del Omar - In Process
September, 2015
Through the retrospective : VAL DEL OMAR overflow the challenge of transferring this PLAT laboratory, this space of creation found in the Barrio del Pilar district in Madrid, to the Museo was undertaken. In 2012, the Museo devoted six rooms of the Collection to the presentation of a significant part of the ensemble. The revised selection is the one currently travelling between three Spanish art institutions on account of the invaluable support of the “la Caixa” Banking Foundation, whose social and education project places citizens’ access to culture among its main priorities.
