NEW ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTION

The Museum shows in the exhibition "New additions" a selection of 37 works that have entered the collection thanks to recent donations and acquisitions. The most recent addition comes from the Mexican family Gómez Laresgoiti.

In addition to the previous pieces, the Museum also presents the bequests of three important photographers of the twentieth century. Included are six photographs by Rafael Sanz Lobato, who donated to the Museum his entire collection of nearly 3,500 photographs and close to 70,000 negatives. The donation of José Antonio Aizpurua's archive, consisting of 137 originals, two sketchbooks of the artist and his collection of negatives, will be present with 4 photographs. And finally, of great importance is also the incorporation of 105 photographic prints by Martín Chambi, the most emblematic Peruvian photographer of the 20th century, which represents the growing presence of Latin American art in the Museum's holdings. Four photographs by this artist will be on display in the room.

Also on display will be works acquired by the Museum, such as a daguerreotype and four salt papers by Alphonse De Launay, an albumen paper by Charles Clifford, and a photograph by Inge Morath. As well as other pieces received by donation, a photograph by Antoni Arissa donated to the Museum in 2016; three photographs by Josep Sala, an author of the Catalan avant-garde of the first half of the 20th century, recently donated on deposit by a private collector, a photograph by Carlos Irijalba, donated by the Padula - Blohm Foundation; and a selection of works donated by Javier Vallhonrat or Cristina de Middel, recently exhibited at the Museum. Other works recently added to the Collection are the works produced by Pierre Gonnord and Manolo Laguillo as part of the Tender Puentes artistic creation program promoted by the Museum.
