Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection
Edited by Javier Arnaldo. Introduction by Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza. Foreword by Thomas Llorens.
Pop Art Myths
The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza is presenting Pop Art Myths, the first exhibition on this subject in Madrid since Pop Art at the Museo Reina Sofía in 1992. More than twenty years later, the exhibition’s curator Paloma Alarcó, Head of Modern Painting at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, will offer a reassessment of this artistic trend from a 21st century viewpoint. Featuring more than 100 works ranging from pioneering British Pop Art to the classic American version and its expansion into Europe, the exhibition aims to trace the shared sources of international Pop Art and to undertake a revision of the myths that have traditionally defined the movement. It will reveal how the legendary images cre...
Antonio López
Antonio López--also known as Antonio López García--is hyper-realism's greatest living exponent, and one of the finest painters of the past hundred years. Published on the occasion of the artist's landmark exhibition at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, this generous overview constitutes a self-portrait of a genuine icon of contemporary painting. It spans the years from 1953 to the present, placing an emphasis on works made after 1993 (the year of the artist's last retrospective exhibition in Spain, at the Reina Sofia Museum). These more recent pieces include masterworks such as "View of Madrid from the Vallecas Fire Tower" (1990-2006) and the monumental heads "Day," "Night" and "Wom...
Highlights of Art
The phenomenal painting collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family, which contains substantial holdings in Northern and Italian Renaissance, the Italian Baroque, modern, and contemporary painting, is now housed in Madrid. The present catalog features good- quality color reproductions of each painting, with a page or two on each artist's biography and the collection's work. A short introduction tells the history of the collection and its new building. Perez-Jofre, who worked with the collection for six years following its installation in the Palacio Villahermosa, is an independent art historian. c. Book News Inc.
Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch: Archetypes brings together a thematic selection of 80 works that examine the painter's long and prolific career and reveal his ability to synthesise the obsessions of modern humanity.
Rembrandt, Caravaggio
Rembrandt - Caravaggio highlights the two geniuses of baroque painting: Rembrandt, the pre-eminent artist of the Dutch Golden Age, and his Italian counterpart Michelangelo Merisi (also known as Il Caravaggio). Both artists are considered revolutionary innovators in Northern and Southern European art, respectively. With their origins in different painting traditions, each developed an original and striking visual language. The juxtaposition in pairs of paintings by the two artists intensifies the comparison of their work. Although they never met - Caravaggio (1571-1610) died four years after the birth of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) - many parallels can be drawn between the two master paint...

Antarctic Resolution
In the era of the Anthropocene, it?s urgent to shift our collective attention southward. Antarctica, a continent that accounts for 10% of Planet Earth and 70% of the world?s fresh water, represents at once the repository of planetary data essential to produce reliable climate change projections, and the biggest threat to all coastal sites.00On the 200th anniversary of the discovery of Antarctica, 'Antarctic Resolution' offers a high-resolution image of the hyper-surveilled yet neglected continent and instigates a decisive resolution towards a supra-national governance model. Advocating for true trans-national and cross-disciplinary collaboration, 'Antarctic Resolution' brings together, for t...
