The Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson presents Masaveu Collection. Twentieth-Century Spanish Art: From Picasso to Barceló, an exhibition that brings together the most outstanding works of twentieth-century art in the Masaveu collections. The show will be on display at the Foundation’s Madrid centre, with free admission, from 9 October 2024 until 20 July 2025.

The works, which have never previously been featured in a major public exhibition, reflect the collecting endeavours begun in the 1960s by Pedro Masaveu Peterson and continued by Elías Masaveu. In recent years those same endeavours have been systematically increased, mainly through the Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson. The majority of the works on display belong to the Masaveu Collection but are supplemented by works from the Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Collection and the personal collection of Fernando Masaveu, the Foundation’s president.

The exhibition is therefore an opportunity to discover the tastes and lines of work that have defined the Masaveu family’s extraordinary collecting efforts through the years.
