The Reina Sofia Museum warns that has bottomed by … – Cordoba Day

The Museo Reina has hit bottom economically, so it is necessary to increase public support or at least maintained, not being possible to make more cuts, “as the following would turn off the light.” This was recognized yesterday by the museum director Manuel Borja-Villel, and Deputy Managing Director, Michaux Miranda, during the presentation of the Reina Sofia programming for next season.

Responsible claim that since the institution “have done their homework” to get double the own revenues and lower costs. But this is not enough for a museum whose accounts were settled last year with one million euros in negative, a figure to which Michaux Miranda expected to stay away in the current year, but does not rule. “We have reached the red lines and can not make more cuts,” he said.

Borja-Villel is working to achieve by the state a commitment to at least the supports remain. “From there we hit bottom, everyone is aware,” he said. The search for equity in different ways, increasing the sponsors, resources and grants through the Queen Sofia Foundation and continue to organize exhibitions of the collection outside Spain, an activity which last year reported a million euros, are the objectives of those responsible for the museum.

One of the exhibits that stand in the programming of the new course is to bring the works of artists such as Edvard Munch, Kandinsky, Picasso, Juan Gris, Paul Klee or Andy Warhol: an exhibition dedicated to the collection of Kunstmuseum Basel. The renovation work being carried out in this institution have allowed, from 17 March to 14 September, 170 works, including paintings, sculptures, collages, photographs and videos, dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, form a tour expressionism, abstract art, minimalism and constructivism.
