As heir to the collecting tradition of the Masaveu family, the Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson has focused primarily on contemporary art and alternating major pieces by grand masters of the twentieth century with more recent works by artists of the twenty-first century. While photography makes up a large proportion of the collection, over the last few years the Foundation has acquired a growing number of paintings and sculptures by established authors as part of its patronage.

The FMCMP Collection: Art and Nature. Footprints Are the Road exhibition at FMCMP Morasverdes explores the relationship between art and nature through different media and formats, including photography, sculpture, textile art and installation. Based on the unique quality of the selected works and designed to facilitate shared experiences and intergenerational encounters, it adopts a didactic approach, suggesting itineraries with the following points in common: landscape, memory, action, matter and a particular way of viewing territory. 

The show features more than fifty works contemporary art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including major land art practitioners like Robert Smithson, Richard Long, Walter de Maria and Christo, as well as international figures like Marina Abramović, Dennis Oppenheim, David Nash, Olafur Eliasson and Axel Hütte. They are joined by a broad selection of acclaimed Spanish artists, such as Agustín Ibarrola, Cristina Iglesias, Perejaume, Daniel Canogar and many others.

This is a unique opportunity to explore art and nature through some of the most important works in the Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Collection.
