Installation view.
MADRID
.- The project The Kind Cruelty. León Ferrari, 100 Years stems from an agreement reached between Fundación Augusto y León Ferrari Arte y Acervo (FALFAA, Buenos Aires) and Museo Reina Sofía. It aims to shine a light on the work of León Ferrari (Buenos Aires, 19202013) in Europe, preserving his heritage trough three institutions by dint of a far-reaching and pedagogical vision fostering the contextualization and dissemination of his legacy.
The project is a long-term collaboration between three museums: the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven and the Musée National d'Art Moderne Centre Pompidou in Paris. The Ferrari family proposed to each of these institutions the donation of a complementary heritage set that covers the diversity of techniques, themes and materials that Ferrari used in his long artistic career and that will be made known to the European public in the exhibition that is now being held in Madrid, and will later travel to Eindhoven and Paris.
