New Images from Spain

1980

Guggenheim Museum, New York

March 21 – May 11, 1980

Curated by: Margit Rowell

On March 21, 1980, the collective exhibition New Images from Spain opened at The Solomon R. Guggenheim in New York. Its curator, Margit Rowell, had visited nearly a hundred studios of young artists throughout Spain over the previous two years, from which she chose ten to organize an exhibition dedicated to our art scene. The final selection included works by Sergi Aguilar, Carmen Calvo, Teresa Gancedo, Antoni Muntadas/Germán Serrán Pagán, Miquel Navarro, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Jordi Teixidor, Darío Villalba, Zush and José Luis Alexanco (all of them present in the Josep Suñol Collection), some of whose work had previously had the opportunity to be exhibited in Fernando Vijande’s Vandrés Gallery, with whom Josep Suñol established one of the most interesting relationships between collecting and gallery work at the time.
