Retrospective exhibition of Miquel Barceló

The emblematic Gothic building of Sa Llonja will house from April 30 to August 31 an exhibition that groups twenty one big format paintings created between 1983 and 2003 by the famous Mallorcan artist Miquel Barceló (Felanitx, 1957). The exhibition is divided in four sections that feature all the important series that the artist has carried out since his exhibition at the Documenta in Kassel in 1982.

The show is part of the cycle "Miquel Barceló a les Illes Balears" organised by the Fundació Balears 21 and commissioned by the Mallorcan artist Enrique Juncosa (director of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin) which will also reach the Museu d'Art Contemporani in Eivissa, the square outside the Town Hall of Sant Francesc Xavier in Formentera, the Museum of Menorca in Maó and the Roser in Ciutadella.

Miquel Barceló is now working on the ceramic cover and the decoration of the chapel of Sant Pere in the Palma Cathedral. There is more information about the artist and his work in these webs in Catalan and in Spanish and English by the Fons Documental Miquel Barceló de Artà.
