Barcelona and Modernity: Gaudí to Dalí
March 7, 2007–June 3, 2007
Special Exhibition Galleries, The Tisch Galleries, 2nd floor
The first comprehensive survey of its type ever mounted in America, this exhibition explores the diverse and innovative work of Barcelona's artists, architects, and designers in the years between the Barcelona Universal Exposition of 1888 and the imposition of the Fascist regime of Francisco Franco in 1939. The exhibition features some 300 works, including paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, posters, decorative objects, furniture, architectural models, and designs. Barcelona and Modernity offers new insights into the art movements that advanced the city's quest for modernity and confirmed it as the primary center of radical intellectual, political, and cultural activities in Spain.
Accompanied by a catalogue.
The exhibition is made possible by the Caixa Catalunya Obra Social and the
Generalitat de Catalunya.
Additional support is provided by Angelo, Gordon & Co. The exhibition is also made possible in part by Jane and Robert Carroll and The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation. It was organized by The Cleveland Museum of Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in association with Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, Barcelona. An indemnity is provided by the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
