The Museo Reina Sofía presents the third episode of the collection Pensamiento Perdido: Autarquía y Exilio (Lost Thought: Autarchy and Exile), with the opening of new rooms that take a further step in the global reorganisation of the collection, which is due to be completed in November of this year and will offer a new interpretation of its holdings.
This episode shows, from different perspectives, the context in which the artists who were forced to leave Spain after the Civil War lived and the different aesthetic contributions they made between 1939 and 1964 on various international stages, as well as the artistic production produced within the country during the period of autarchy under Franco’s dictatorship. This core collection brings together in 14 rooms on the fourth floor of the Sabatini building more than 300 works and abundant bibliographical and archival documentation, many of them exhibited for the first time in the Museum.
