Hyperrealism 1967-2012

Hyperrealism 1967-2012
Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid
22 March – 9 June 2013
In the late 1960s a group of artists emerged in the United States who painted scenes and objects from daily life with a high degree of realism, using photography as the basis for their works and achieving international recognition at Documenta in Kassel in 1972. For the first time, the exhibition now presented at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza offers a survey of Hyperrealism that starts with the great US masters of the first generation such as Richard Estes, John Baeder, Tom Blackwell, Don Eddy, Ralph Goings and Chuck Close, continues in Europe with their influence on subsequent generations, and concludes in the present day.

Mitsuo Miura. Imagined Memories #MuseoNacionalCentrodeArteReinaSofía

Mitsuo Miura. Imagined Memories
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
14th March – 2nd September 2013
The intervention by Mitsuo Miura (Iwate, Japan, 1946) at the Palacio de Cristal is based on a pictorial installation oriented ultimately toward architecture and landscaping. By means of essential forms distributed around the space, with somewhat faded colors representative of a certain diffuseness, the artist proposes the creation of constructive forms that are merely suggested, and which relate to essential schematizations of experiences and images stored in his memory.
