"Visions of Guernica"

Manuel Borja-Villel

Sunday, August 15

Manuel Borja-Villel received his PhD in Art History from the CUNY Graduate Center in New York. A former director of the Antoni Tàpies Foundation and the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, he has been the director of the Museo Reina Sofía since 2008. Alongside research into the new forms institutions can take, an important part of his work at the Museo Reina Sofía focuses on the development and reorganization of the collection, and changing the way the works are shown.

"Visions of Guernica"

Picasso's Guernica is the cornerstone of the Museo Reina Sofía Collection: its jewel, the most sought after piece. The danger of falling into a one-way narrative that necessarily ends with the notion of “masterpiece” and all it implies is evident. To avoid this, the museum decided to revise its interpretation, as Manuel will explain.
