What will we be doing in 2015? This last Tuesday we presented the museum’s programming of what the museum will be doing this year. Exhibitions, seminars, activities, presentations, restorations and family workshops, amongt others, will form part of the new programme that we have planned for 2015. Following you can find an outline of the main events:
Pablo Picasso, Woman in a Red Armchair. 1929. Oil on canvas. 65 x 54 cm. The Menil Collection, Houston
Hickey-Robertson, Houston © Successió Pablo Picasso, VEGAP, Madrid 2015 | Salvador Dalí. Apparatus and Hand. 1927. Oil on wood panel. 62,2 x 47,6 cm. Salvador Dalí Museum, Inc., Sant Petersburg, Florida © Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres 2015
· Exhibition “Picasso/Dalí, Dalí/Picasso”: this exhibition, that will be open to the public in March 20th, studies, for the first time, the relations between two key figures of art of the 20th century. The thesis presents a challenge with respect to the conventional historic models that treat the two artists as isolated, mythical and self-generating figures in terms of aesthetics, and politically opposed.

Pablo Picasso met the brothers Ramon and Jacint Reventós Bordoy in 1899, thanks to the mediation of Àngel Fernández de Soto, a colleague of Ramon. From that moment on, the artist kept up a very close relation with the two Reventós brothers that would continue with the next generation.

· Seminar of restoration and preventive conservation about the blue period: the technical study carried out of the work from the collection of the museum Rooftops of Barcelona, 1903, was presented in the exhibition “Journey through the blue: La Vie”, in 2013. The feedback received made it evident that a seminar about different case studies of works from this period was desirable and necessary.
