A museum's permanent collection is like its nerve centre, out of which all other messages emanate. The Museo Reina Sofía's Collection has been developing since 1894 and the foundation of the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art, bringing together, almost a century later, all the state's various collections of modern and contemporary art.
The Museo's Collection now comprises almost 25,000 pieces and spans the last decades of the 19th century through to the present day. The principal focus is the history of Spanish art but there is international work too, with a particular emphasis on Latin America.
María Escoté on Tertulia, by Ángeles Santos
La Favorita
This interview sees designer María Escoté (Barcelona, 1979) speak about the work Tertulia (The Gathering, 1929), by artist Ángeles Santos (Portbou, Girona, 1911 – Madrid, 2013).
Escoté highlights the importance of the artistic training Santos had access to from an early age, training which was out of reach for most women at the time and the lack of which hindered their technical mastery. Tertulia, painted in 1929, the same year the artist painted her iconic work Un mundo (A World), is structed around a scene with four women who are striking for their modernity, both in form and content, earning a young Santos relevance in the avant-garde artistic landscape.
The interview is part of La Favorita, a project which invites public figures to choose their favourite work from the Museo Reina Sofía Collections and share their personal story around it.
