He Botín Center Santander has already announced what will be its exhibition program for next year, which will feature a large exhibition dedicated to the influence of Iberian art on Picasso’s work and will present, for the first time in our country, masterpieces from the collection of Iberian art in the Louvre Museum, one of the most extensive on an international level.
With “Picasso Ibero”, an exhibition produced in collaboration with the Musée national Picasso-Paris and scheduled for the end of April, this space continues its commitment to disseminating lesser-known aspects of the work of the Malaga native, as it already did with Joan Miró or Alexander Calder. This exhibition will also serve to disseminate the artistic style of the Iberian people, all of this through the largest set of works ever exhibited before and also doing so in dialogue with the work of Picasso.
The Botín Center will also resume the Thomas Demand exhibition that could not take place in 2020 due to the pandemic, from the intention of showing the work of internationally renowned artists and fostering their relationship with younger creators through arts workshops plastic (the German author is expected to direct the next one). This exhibition will be the artist’s first major exhibition in Spain, and with it the center will continue to deepen the relationship between art and architecture, since the experience of space is very present in his production.
The exhibition program for 2021 is completed by the 26th edition of Itineraries, which will arrive at the end of the year, the recently inaugurated exhibitions of the collection – “Art and architecture: a dialogue” and “Looks at art” – and the permanent rooms “Portraits: Essence and expression ”–with works generously donated by Jaime Botín, patron of the Botín Foundation- and“ Sculptures by Joan Miró ”, which also respond to a loan from Successió Miró.
