Colecciones Masaveu. Arte textil

The Fundación María Cristina Masaveu Peterson brings together in Madrid more than eighty pieces of textile art spanning from the 15th century to the present day.

This proposal brings the public closer to a set of carpets, embroideries, tapestries and contemporary creations from the Masaveu collections. The layout is organised into two main areas entitled Historical carpets, embroideries and tapestries and Fabrics, the right side and the reverse, structured in turn into a total of fifteen sections comprising six parts dedicated to the historic holdings and nine to current art.

The visit allows visitors to observe the relationship between diverse eras and techniques through the work of creators such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Sheila Hicks, Maria Lai, Joan Miró, Aurèlia Muñoz, Teresa Lanceta, Sonia Navarro, Paula Rego, Josep Grau-Garriga, Le Corbusier, Sonia Delaunay, Olga de Amaral, Anni Albers, Antoni Tàpies, Georges Braque, Alexander Calder, Dolors Oromí and Belén Rodríguez. The project is coordinated by curators Antonio Sama García and Patricia Molins de la Fuente, offering a detailed look at this repertoire of fabrics.
