Contemporary Art of the Pitiüses in Sa Llonja

Sa Llonja in Palma is holding until January 12 the exhibition "Pitiüses 59-02. Art Contemporani a Eivissa i Formentera", that has works by 49 artists representative of the evolution of plastic creation on the Pitiüses during the last 40.

Produced by the General Direction for Culture of the Balearic Government and commissioned by Elena Ruiz, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Eivissa (MACE), the show has the following areas: "Grupo Ibiza'59" with works by Erwin Bechtol, Erwin Broner, Hans Laabs, Katja Meirowsky, Bob Munford, Egon Neubauer, Antonio Ruiz, Bertil Sjöberg and Heinz Trökes; "El naixement de Babel i el límits del paradís" with works by artists such as Isabel Echarri, Rafael Tur Costa, Eduard Micus and Emilio Vedova; "Hic et Nunc" with works by Mario de Ayguavives, Enric Riera and Simone Schander, amongst others; "Emergent" with a painting by Yolanda Montesa; and "Ibizagràfic" with works by artists such as Christine Ravaux and Mitsuru Nagashima.

Sa Llonja, one of the most emblematic civil Gothic buildings is holding this exhibition after being closed since March of last year awaiting a refurbishment that has still not taken place. The last exhibition held there before the closure was also dedicated to artists from the Pitiüses, that is from Eivissa. That show was called "El llegat Puget a Sa Llonja", that gathered together the artistic legacy of the painters Narcís Puget Viñas (1874-1960) and Narcís Puget Riquer (1916-1983).

The entrance is free and visiting times from Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; closed Mondays.
