The event featured the participation, among others, of Sílvia Noguer, member of the board of the Suñol Foundation and the Glòria Soler Foundation, and David Martrat, Head of Communication and Projects at the Suñol Foundation. Representing IDIBAPS, the event was led by Susana Puig, Director, Michela Bertero, Strategy Director, and David Badia, General Manager.
The artwork replaces “Servicio secreto” by Eduardo Arroyo, which had been on display in the same space since the beginning of the year.
The initiative to exhibit artworks at IDIBAPS is part of the “Art & Science” project, promoted by Hospital Clínic Barcelona, IDIBAPS, the Suñol Foundation and the Glòria Soler Foundation, which aims to bring both disciplines closer together and allow art to enter the spaces where research is carried out, generating a new social impact.
The first action of the agreement was the loan of “Trodotz” by Zush/Evru, followed by “Untitled” by Eva Lootz, “Foot and Varnish” by Antoni Tàpies, and the aforementioned “Servicio secreto” by Eduardo Arroyo.
The artwork is part of the presentation activities for the documentary “Warhol&Vijande. More than Guns, Knives and Crosses”, produced by the Suñol Soler Collection, which revisits the figure of the gallerist Fernando Vijande, essential in shaping the Josep Suñol Soler collection, and who in 1983 brought Andy Warhol to Spain for the first time, accompanied by his close collaborator Christopher Makos.
