Fundación Unicaja Malaga Exhibition “Vino - Art and Symbol”
In conjunction with the Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture of Briones (La Rioja)
In Vino Veritas…..
I had seen that the last day of the “Vino, Arte y Symbolo” exhibition in the Fundación Unicaja, Malaga was on Sunday so I mentioned it to some friends who also wanted to visit and we made sure to get to the venue before closing at 2pm on that day.
I wanted to visit this exhibition for two reasons. The first being that the exhibition looked really interesting and had some modern art that I wanted to see (Warhol, Picasso and Lichenstein) along with art from early mesopatamian period up to current times. Additionally I was interested in seeing the building itself as it is very distinctive and decorative looking from the outside and is located centrally near the cathedral. It is a building of stature having been the bishop’s palace at one point in time.
It was a fascinating exhbition with the common theme of the representation of wine in art (what’s not to like about that!) however, the works that I was particularly interested in were the more modern artworks by Chagall, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Tápies, Juan Genovés, Picasso, Joaquín Sorolla, Juan Gris and Miquel Barceló.
Sunday Morning Museum Visit
As I mentioned it was the last day of the exhbiton so I felt lucky to have got to see it. It was a lovely activity to get up to on a Sunday morning, and we followed it with a coffee in the sun, for the four of us, in Recyclo Cafe in Plaza Enrique García Herrera.
After our visit to this art exhibition, we were served our coffees in very appropriate coffee cups with an art theme!
