Espressione allo stato puro, in mostra a Bilbao 5 Febbraio 2017
Organizzata dalla Royal Academy of Arts di Londra, con la collaborazione del Museo Guggenheim di Bilbao, la grande mostra Abstract Expressionism è arrivata finalmente in Spagna. Con l'obiettivo di gettare nuova luce sul movimento artistico che nel corso del Novecento ha tracciato un itinerario autonomo rispetto alle esperienze cubista e surrealista, l'esposizione propone una selezione di 130 opere. A Bilbao fino al 4 giugno.
