Gods, wizards and sages. Artists’ private collections
This exhibition presents an unprecedented experience: it shows the work of ten artists from the ”la Caixa” Foundation’s Contemporary Art Collection (Rosa Amorós, Miquel Barceló, Georg Baselitz, Luis Feito, Joan Hernández Pijuan, Manolo Millares, Joan Miró, Susana Solano, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Antoni Tàpies) together with objects from their personal collections. For example, pieces of art from non-European traditions in the case of Miró and Tàpies, or Japanese religious objects in the case of Sugimoto.
Collecting is something innate in us. Our culture is a collector by itself and in history it is easily perceived.
