IV Conference on collecting

Called by the Friends of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía Foundation, on February 27 and 28, 2024

These days aim to hold a discussion at the Reina Sofía Museum between collectors, gallery owners, curators and, of course, artists around contemporary Latin American art that spreads organically between Latin America and Spain and vice versa. If in previous editions this meeting has referred to Spanish collecting of the last 20th century, to the legal elements of collecting, to that of the new generations and to digital, this time Latin American art will be the object of reflection and debate from the perspective, among others, public and private collecting.
