Overview

• President Carlos Mazón met with the Hispanic Society of America’s director in New York to advance negotiations for a multi-year loan of Joaquín Sorolla paintings to Valencia.
• The loan will not include the monumental 'Visión de España' series but may feature other emblematic works like 'Bueyes sacando la barca' and 'Niños en la playa.'
• Specific details, including the selection of paintings, exhibition costs, duration, and venue, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
• The Generalitat is considering the Palacio de las Comunicaciones as a potential venue for the exhibition, which could also serve as a temporary museum for Sorolla’s works.
• This agreement builds on decades of collaboration between Valencia and the Hispanic Society, including past restorations of Sorolla sketches and major exhibitions.
