Josef Albers/Joan Miró, Palma de Mallorca

Josef Albers/Joan Miró The Thrill of Seeing, Fundacion Joan y Pilar Miró, Palma de Mallorca, 23 MAY – 21 SEPTEMBER 2014.
Exhibition contrasting the abstract art of two twentieth-century artists, who though they never met, the co-curators (Directors of the artists’ respective foundations) believe shared an inclusive vision. The show integrates Miró’s paintings, drawings, and sculpture, all from the collection of the Fundacion Joan y Pilar Miró, with Albers’s paintings, prints, and glass work, all from the Albers Foundation in Connecticut, so as to reveal “astounding visual and spiritual similarities”.
