One more year the Modern Art Hall opens its doors to bring us closer to art in capital letters. With the participation of fifteen galleries from all over the country – only one from Andorra – and with 400 works on display. The Carlos de Antwerp Foundation (99 Claudio Coello Street) is dressed with artists of the stature of Dalí, Picasso, Tàpies, Plensa or Miró, to name a few – in total there are more than one hundred.
In this edition, in addition, the show is presented as an opportunity to see up close works that have not left their museums until now, such as a piece by Sorolla that, after eleven years on display in the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao, is coming to the sale in the SAM.
The director of the show, gallery owner Jorge Alcolea, explains that his objective “is to continue offering a quality artistic proposal with a differential point.” It is already a must for collectors from all over the world, who find the SAM an essential event to access the most exclusive works by the most important artists of our times.
This year's edition includes an unmissable novelty, the exhibition El Arte Inevitable. Origins and correspondences, a dialogue between ancient and modern that focuses on the works of the Iberian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Gothic cultures.
As its curator, the versatile Jaime Vallaure, points out, ancient art has been a reference, inspiration and source of knowledge for contemporary artists. Pieces from ancient civilizations share space with the works of modern artists and invite us to change the approach we have to the artistic expression of our ancestors.
Some of the masterpieces of this seventh edition of the show that will surely convince you to go are a copy of the classic Romancero Gitano by Federico García Lorca with original illustrations by the author; or a model of the very famous Woman and Bird by Joan Miró, a sculpture that the artist never saw finished.
The SAM will remain open until Sunday, March 10 and can be visited every day from 11:30 in the morning to 9 at night – the last day of the exhibition closes earlier, so don't delay in buying tickets. It is an unparalleled opportunity to delight your senses with the beauty and aesthetics of the work of the best modern artists in the world.
