Pere Formiguera Donation. Creative drive<\/h3>\n

In 2016, the Formiguera family deposited the entire collection of Pere Formiguera (Barcelona 1952-2013) with the Museu Nacional, thus aligning themselves with the wishes of other photographers of his generation whose work is also part of the museum\u2019s photography collection. This initial deposit, after being cleaned, restored, digitalised and inventoried by the museum, has now, in 2023, become a generous donation from the family. This contribution is very important to the museum, as it helps continue increasing the quality and depth of the photography collection, which is currently the fastest growing section.<\/p>\n

It intends to show some examples of the works donated. It features works from his most well-known series, such as Chronos and With the Eyes Closed, as well as some of his more experimental pieces from the 1980s, like the Polaroid and Pixie series, among others. A multifaceted artist, photography historian, collector and curator of exhibitions, Pere Formiguera\u2019s work can be found in the MoMA in New York, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, MACBA and Fonds national d\u2019art contemporain in Paris.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n \n

\n “Photography isn\u2019t an art form. It\u2019s a technique. A photograph can become a piece of art. But that doesn\u2019t mean it is ALWAYS art. So calling photography \u2018the art of light\u2019 is utter nonsense.\u201d\n <\/h4>\n
