"Balenciaga and the Spanish painting" Opening Exhibition at Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

Dresses and Painting are displayed during the exhibition "Balenciaga and the Spanish painting", that connects the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga with the tradition of 16th- to 20th-century Spanish painting. The exhibition includes a carefully-selected group of paintings loaned from private Spanish collections and public museums, including the Museo Nacional del Prado and the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao. They will be accompanied by a group of important creations by Balenciaga -loaned from the Museo Balenciaga in Guetaria, Museo del Traje in Madrid and Museu del Disseny in Barcelona and other international and national private collections- some of them never previously exhibited before. The exhibition will be on display at Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid from 18 June to 22 September.
