A Barcellona la Fondazione Joan Mirò festeggia 50 anni. Tutte le iniziative in programma
The Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an extensive program of exhibitions, concerts, performances, and public initiatives. The festivities begin on June 11 with the exhibition "Poetry Has Just Begun: 50 Years of the Miró," a retrospective tracing the foundation's history and its role in the international art system. Other highlights include "Miró and the United States" in autumn, exploring the artist's dialogue with post-war American avant-garde figures like Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, organized in collaboration with the Phillips Collection in Washington. In March 2026, the foundation will unveil a new permanent collection layout based on Miró's creative processes and open the Garden of the Cypresses, a previously inaccessible historic area on Montjuïc.
This anniversary matters because it reaffirms the Joan Miró Foundation as a vital institution for dialogue between art, architecture, and society, reflecting the interdisciplinary vision of the Catalan artist. The programming not only honors Miró's legacy but also positions the foundation as a forward-looking cultural hub, integrating sustainability, new modes of cultural engagement, and international collaborations. The reopening of the Garden of the Cypresses and the reimagined permanent collection underscore the foundation's commitment to blending memory with contemporary cultural practices, reinforcing Barcelona's status as a key art destination.
