Acquisitions programme2020
The Acquisitions Program is aimed at foundations and private companies that undertake to incorporate works from among those exhibited in the participating galleries into their collections.
This program contributes to boost the art market in Barcelona and its metropolitan area, and therefore the relationship between collectors and galleries, essential agents in the promotion of the artists represented.
In the 2020 edition, the Acquisitions Program has once again counted on the participation of the Fundació Vila Casas, an institution dedicated to contemporary Catalan art with four exhibition spaces in Catalonia, which has remained faithful to this initiative since the first edition, and the Utopicus ART collection, which has trusted the program for the second consecutive year.
In addition, DKV Seguros has joined for the first time through the DKV Artèria Program and the Manuel Expósito - VisualSign Collection, an eclectic journey through artists from the 1950s to the present day that began in 1995 and is completed with works of pop art, street art, hyperrealism and conceptual art with a critical nature, currently focusing on young national artists.
The four entities have freely chosen the works without limitation of value and in direct relation with the galleries. The 13 works acquired through the Acquisitions Program belong to the following artists: Mar Arza, Mercedes Azpilicueta, Lucía C. Pino, Anna Dot, Pere Llobera, Violeta Mayoral, Alejandro Monge, Okuda, Virginia Rota and Eulàlia Rovira.
