Creating the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art – February 26 through June 18, 2023
During an era when Spanish artists found success abroad yet struggled for recognition at home, artist, critic, and collector Fernando Zóbel (1924–1984) established the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca (Castilla-La Mancha) on July 1, 1966, the first institution of its kind within Spain. More than forty highlights from its remarkable collection—most coming to the U.S. for the first time—tell the story of this pioneering artists’ museum and explore the rich panorama of abstract Spanish art during the middle of the twentieth century and under the Francoist regime.
Here are a few features from the collection!
This collection has quite a story and amazing artwork! I have never been to this museum but I discovered they have Membership options that start at just $60 a year! Lots of membership perks so feel free to e-mail the Membership Department (museummembership@smu.edu) or call 214.768.2765 or join online. Membership Forms are also available at the Museum’s front desk or in the Museum Shop, and can be completed during your visit or mailed in with a check or credit card information.
Meadows Museum has a list of Education Programs they offer as well including #MuseumFromHome, Memory Care Programs and Teacher Resources. Plan your visit after reviewing their insight and wonderful recommendations for lodging, dining and programs.
